Hello Ladies, I started this thread for interested people who like to try some international recipes. Hope you enjoy these recipes! Sere ----------------------------------- Mexican Rice pudding A thick and creamy rice pudding dessert with the added texture and flavor of raisins and cinnamon. INGREDIENTS: 3 cups whole milk 1 1/4 cup water 1 cup rice, short or medium grain 2 cinnamon sticks 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup raisins, soaked in warm water to soften 2 teaspoons vanilla butter for topping *optional PREPARATION: Bring whole milk and water to a slow simmer in a large pot, over medium/low heat. Stir in rice, add in cinnamon sticks and barely simmer, uncovered, until rice is softened which should be about 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally. When rice is soft, remove cinnamon sticks and stir in condensed milk, vanilla, salt and raisins. Return to a slight simmer and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed and rice has a pudding-like consistency. Serve hot, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or butter. ------------------------------------- Chinese Basic Fried Rice Serves 4 to 6 This is a basic recipe for fried rice that you can add to as desired.
