Creamed rice FAQ:
The rice is done when it is tender and has absorbed most of the milk, resulting in a creamy texture. This usually takes about 45 minutes of simmering over low heat. If it’s still hard or the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit of milk and continue cooking.
Yes, you can store leftover creamed rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop; just add a little milk to restore creaminess.
While white rice is the preferred choice for this recipe, you can substitute it with other types of rice such as jasmine or basmati, but cooking times may vary. Brown rice can also be used, though it will require a longer cooking time.
To adjust the recipe for more or fewer servings, maintain the same proportions of ingredients. For example, if you want to double the recipe, use 8 cups of milk, 2/3 cup of sugar, 1 cup of rice, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
If the creamed rice is too thick, simply add a little more milk and stir while cooking until you reach the desired consistency. If it’s too thin, continue to simmer until it thickens, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Tips:
- Choose a thick-bottomed pot to prevent the mixture from burning or sticking.
- Stir the mixture frequently to ensure the rice cooks evenly and doesn't clump together.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can use whole milk instead of 1% fat milk.
- For additional flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mix.
- Let the creamed rice cool slightly before serving so the flavors meld together better.
