Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the unwashed rice with the water until the water is absorbed, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the milk (reserve ½ cup for the cornstarch slurry) along with the sugar to the pot of rice. Bring milk and rice to a boil and then reduce heat to medium-low. Stir the mixture frequently, until the rice is fully cooked, and the milk begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.
  3. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining ½ cup of milk and transfer to the pot. Add the rose water and vanilla extract and stir frequently until mixture thickens, about 15 more minutes.
  4. Transfer the mixture into 5-10 bowls, and allow to cool. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
  5. Add the chopped pistachios or other toppings, and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
