Steamed rice pudding
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The dish is very simple to prepare, healthy and nutritious. This pudding is perfect for afternoon snack or dessert. You can diversify plain rice with dried fruits, fresh fruits, berries, and spices. I occasionally bake it in the oven, but more often I prepare it by steaming. Serve chilled.
