Let's cook

Rinse the rice and simmer in the water for 12–15 minutes until most is absorbed.
Add milk and stir. Simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the pudding thickens.
Add sugar and vanilla and cook for 3 more minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
Divide into small bowls. Serve warm or refrigerate promptly; do not leave it out for long. Full chilling takes additional time.

A helpful tip ✳

The rice's natural starch gives a creamy texture without added cream.
