Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons vegan butter or oil
- 2 tablespoons cashew raw pieces or other nuts like raw pistachios or almond slivers
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins or other dried fruit
- green cardamom seeds from 1 pod
- 1 clove
- salt a pinch
- 1/2 cup vermicelli noodles broken into 4 to 5 inch pieces, use Thai Rice vermicelli for gf
- 2 cups almond milk or other non dairy milk
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar or to taste
- vanilla extract a drop
- 1 to 2 tablespoon cashew optional, ground, raw
- for variation: use 6 saffron strands or 1/2 tsp rose water instead of vanilla
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. When hot, add cashews and cook until lightly golden on some edges. 1 to 2 minutes. Add raisins and cook until they puff up. Remove the cashews and raisins and keep aside.
- In the same pan, add cardamom, cloves, salt and vermicelli noodles and cook over medium heat until the noodles turn golden. 4 to 7 minutes depending on the noodles used. Rice vermicelli takes longer to roast. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- Add almond milk and bring to a boil.
- Add sugar, vanilla and mix in. Reduce heat to low-medium and continue to cook until the noodles are cooked through. 5 to 7 minutes. Taste and adjust sweet.
- Fold in half of the cashews and raisins. If the pudding is not thick, add ground cashew and mix in. Continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes or until desired consistency. The Pudding will thicken more once cool.
- Garnish with the remaining cashews and raisins. Chill, discard the clove and serve.
