GINGER RICE PUDDING RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash and rinse the rice thoroughly in several water baths (about three times). Place in a large bowl, cover with water. Soak for at least 1 hour or preferably 2. Drain as much water as possible.
• Fill a pot with cold water. Bring to a boil. Add the rice. Bring the liquid back to a boil, then immediately lower the heat to a gentle boil. Cook for about 3 minutes. Drain the liquid from the rice using a fine mesh colander. Do NOT rinse. Discard the liquid.
• Prepping ginger: Clean the ginger root and remove any dirt. Peel the ginger root with a paring knife (or the edge of a spoon). Grate about 2 tablespoons of ginger with a fine mesh Microplane. Thinly slice the rest, then cut into long matchsticks. Place the ginger in a large teabag (see tips).
• Rinse the pot. In the same pot, add 5 cups of milk. After bringing the milk to a near boil, return the rice, the ginger teabag and the grated ginger to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 30 minutes at a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. This way the rice is cooked all the way through evenly.
• The liquid should be all absorbed. Periodically add about 1 cup of the remaining warm milk (add all the rest of the milk whenever the pudding thickens). Add salt and sweeten with the ginger honey tea. Keep stirring the rice every now and then so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Let simmer for another 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the rice pudding to cool completely. Remove and discard the ginger teabag.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream for about 2 minutes at low speed. Add the powdered sugar, increase the speed of your mixer and keep whisking for another 2-3 minutes until it forms soft peaks. Don't over-beat or the texture will become grainy. Flavor with vanilla extract.
• Using a silicone spatula, mix 1/3 of the whipped cream with the ginger rice pudding to soften it. Add the rest of the cream and gently fold it in the cream until fully incorporated to get an airy batter.
• Serve in dessert cups garnished with fresh mint leaves.
• Bon appétit!
