Method

  1. 01

    Rinse and soak the rice

    Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then soak it for 30 minutes. Drain it well before using.

  2. 02

    Reduce the milk

    Heat the milk over medium heat in a pot, stirring often so it does not rise or stick. Let it evaporate until about three quarters of its original volume remains.

  3. 03

    Cook the rice in the milk

    Add the drained rice to the reduced milk. Cook over medium-low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring often and gently breaking up some grains so they release starch.
