Another stab at rice pudding

I used this recipe with already cooked rice (because I left my rice in my cooker accidentally and now it's dry! I hoped cooking over-cooked rice in a liquid will help make it not so tough again, and it worked!).

Super tasty! Though not quite as creamy as I'd like-- the eggs made it have a slightly lumpy texture. (Not the rice kind of lumpy, mind you. That "eggs are congealed and making some sort of little tiny strands of cooked eggy-ness" which is probably a result of how I added the hot milk to my eggs and cooked it too fast.)

So, the main difference is I used rice that's been dried out accidentally, instead of uncooked rice. I greatly reduced the initial cooking time.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) of whole milk
  • 1/3 cup (66 grams) of uncooked short grain white rice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup (40 grams) raisins

METHOD

1 In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk, rice and salt to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
2 In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg and brown sugar until well mixed. Add a half cup of the hot rice mixture to the egg mixture, a tablespoon at a time, vigorously whisking to incorporate.

3 Add egg mixture back into the saucepan of rice and milk and stir, on low heat, for 5 to 10 minutes, until thickened, or about 160°F (71°C). Be careful not to have the mixture come to a boil at this point or it will curdle. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins and cinnamon.
Serve warm or cold.

ちゃはん (Fried Rice)

On medium-high heat, fry in sesame or vegetable oil:
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 cooked potato, cubed
1 cup frozen peas
add a bit of soy sauce or ponzu, and cover to speed up cooking.
When almost done, add ginger and 1/2 cup shredded cabbage, and then day-old rice. Stir.
When done, slowly pour some beaten egg over, trying to spread it as thinly as possible over the entire dish, stir until cooked, and then eat! Great garnished with chopped green onions and kimchee.
