Ingredients
- 1 cup medium grain white rice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk, divided (or your favorite non-dairy milk substitute)
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 6 tablespoons sugar (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
- Pinch cloves
- Pinch Coriander
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)
- 4 cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pour uncooked rice and salt into a small saucepan with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil on the stovetop.
- Decrease heat to a low simmer. Let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes till all the water is fully absorbed and the rice is soft. Remove from heat and keep covered.
- In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup almond milk, 3/4 cup coconut milk, sugar, and spices. Whisk together over medium low heat till the sugar is fully dissolved and the spices are blended into the milk.
- Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir. Continue to cook on medium low for about 10 minutes longer, stirring frequently, till the mixture is thickened and creamy.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg. Add a tablespoon of the hot rice mixture to the beaten egg and stir with a fork till blended. Beat in the remaining 1/2 cup of almond milk with a fork.
- Slowly drizzle the almond milk and egg mixture into the hot rice mixture, stirring constantly, till fully incorporated.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Continue to heat and stir the mixture for about 3 minutes longer, stirring frequently, till the mixture bubbles. Remove from heat. Taste; season with additional sugar, if desired.
- Serve garnished with a cinnamon stick, if desired. For a more pronounced coconut flavor, you can stir in 1/2 tsp of coconut extract at the end of cooking. The mixture will thicken as it cools. To reheat, add a little almond milk to thin out the mixture as it heats.
