Stovetop Rice Pudding Recipes

CLASSIC STOVE-TOP RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Use a 1 quart pot with cover.
• Place the rice and water into the pot, bring to a boil then simmer for few minutes, covered, until the rice absorbs the water. 
• Add milk, butter and salt and cook the rice on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
• When the rice is almost cooked(about 10-15 minutes), add sugar and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
• Add vanilla, lemon zest and stir to combine.
• The best way to know if the rice pudding is cooked is by tasting the grain. You want the rice to be cooked but still "al dente".
• Remove the pudding from the heat and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. The rice will absorb the rest of the liquid and become thicker and creamier.
• Serve the rice pudding in cups and decorate with cinnamon, pieces of fruit, your favorite jam, dried fruits etc.

BASIC STOVETOP RICE

Steps:

• Pour rice into a bowl, and fill it with cold water. Swirl the grains, using your fingers. Tip out any starchy water, and repeat until water runs almost clear.
• Combine rice and water in a pot: For most long-grain and medium-grain rice, pair 1 cup rice and 1 1/3 cups water. For short-grain rice, use 1 cup rice and 1 cup water. For most brown rice, combine 1 cup rice and 1 3/4 cups water. The rice and water should not come more than halfway up the sides of your pot; the mixture will double in volume as it cooks.
• Bring water to a hard boil over medium-high heat. The water's entire surface should break with big, constant bubbles. As soon as water is boiling, give it a vigorous stir with a spatula or wooden spoon, making sure to scrape at any grains at the bottom of the pot. Cover it with a lid and turn the heat to low.
• Cook long-grain and medium-grain rice for 15 minutes; short-grain varieties for 20 minutes; and brown rice for 30 minutes.
• When allotted time has passed, or when you hear a change in sound - if you listen closely, you'll notice the sounds will slowly change from a bubbly simmer to a steamy sort of flutter - turn off heat and let rice rest for about 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
