About Short-grain pudding rice
Rice is known to have been cultivated in China as long ago as 5,000BC and has been and still is a staple food in various countries. Though there are many different types, the rice we buy in mainly of two kinds: long grain (most brown and white rice) and short grain (risotto and pudding rice).
Short-grain pudding rice produces a sticky result when cooked. The grains are very absorbent and so a small amount of rice in proportion to liquid is used during cooking. Flaked rice can be used in place of short grain pudding rice.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 6
60 gm / 2¼ oz short-grain pudding rice
600 ml / 1 pint skimmed milk
3 tablespoons clear honey
1 vanilla pod
2 ripe bananas
½ lemon, finely grated zest
2 egg whites
a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1. Place the rice in a saucepan with the milk.
2. Stir in the honey and add the vanilla pod, bring gently to the boil.
3. Reduce the heat and cover, simmer for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it sticking, until the rice is soft and the mixture has thickened but is still sloppy.
4. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 200ºC / 400ºF.
5. Remove the vanilla pod from the rice.
6. Peel the bananas and slice them thinly, then fold then into the rice with the lemon zest.
7. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
8. Fold egg whites into the rice mixture.
9. Spoon the rice mixture into six 200 ml / 7 fl oz ramekins, or a 1.2 litre / 2 pint soufflé dish, and sprinkle with nutmeg.
10. Place the ramekins or dish on a baking sheet and bake individual puddings for 10-12 minutes, or the large pudding foe 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and well risen.
11. Serve warm.
