The method
Step by step
- 1
Combine the short grain rice, water, cinnamon stick, and lemon zest in a medium saucepan.
- 2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is almost completely absorbed.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the heat is low enough to prevent sticking and burning.
- 3
Pour in the whole milk and condensed milk, stirring gently to combine.
About 1 min
- 4
Continue to simmer uncovered over low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
- 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
- 6
Temper the beaten egg yolks by slowly whisking a small amount of the hot rice pudding into the yolks, then gradually add the tempered yolks back into the saucepan, stirring constantly.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: This prevents the egg yolks from scrambling.
- 7
Stir well to incorporate the egg yolks and ensure the pudding is smooth.
About 1 min
- 8
