Orange & cinnamon creamed rice is a delightful dessert that combines the creamy texture of rice pudding with the aromatic flavors of orange and cinnamon. This simple yet decadent dish can be enjoyed warm or cold, making it a perfect treat for any time of the year. Using soy milk instead of dairy gives it a unique twist that's both vegan and delicious.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by thoroughly rinsing the 1/2 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed white rice and 2 cups of soy milk.
- Add the cinnamon stick to the mixture.
3. Simmering:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Keep the saucepan partially covered to prevent too much liquid from evaporating.
- Stir the mixture frequently to ensure even cooking and to prevent the rice from sticking. The rice will slowly absorb the soy milk and start to thicken.
- After about 15-20 minutes of simmering, or when the rice is nearly tender, add the 2 tablespoons of orange zest to the saucepan.
- Continue to stir and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the orange zest to release its fragrant oils and infuse the rice with its citrus flavor.
- If the rice seems too thick before it is done, you can add a little more soy milk to achieve your desired consistency. The final texture should be creamy.
- Once the rice is tender and has reached a creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Discard the cinnamon stick and give the mixture a good stir.
- Transfer the creamed rice to serving bowls. You can garnish with a little extra orange zest or a dusting of ground cinnamon if desired.
- Serve warm or chilled, depending on your preference. This dish makes a delightful dessert or a comforting breakfast.
Tips:
- Rinse the rice: Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- Stir frequently: To ensure a consistent, creamy texture, stir the mixture frequently while it cooks. This prevents the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and ensures even cooking.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can add sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste during the cooking process.
- Try different milks: While soy milk is a great option for this recipe, you can experiment with other plant-based milks like almond or coconut to achieve different flavors and textures.
- Combine textures: For extra indulgence, consider garnishing your creamed rice with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a drizzle of syrup, or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
With its rich, creamy texture and the warm, inviting flavors of orange and cinnamon, this creamed rice is bound to become a favorite. The ease of preparation and the use of simple ingredients make it an accessible dessert for any skill level. Enjoy your homemade Orange & cinnamon creamed rice as a comforting end to your meal or a sweet indulgence any time of the day.
