For the rice

    2 cups water

    1 cup white rice

    3/8 teaspoon salt

    In a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to a boil. Stir in the rice and salt. Return the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Try to resist peeking until at least 12 minutes have passed. When the rice seems done and most of the water has been absorbed, remove from heat and let the rice steam for 10 minutes before serving. This makes about 4 cups rice -- more than is needed for the pudding recipe.

    Pudding and assembly

    1 cup cooked rice

    3/4 cup milk, plus more for serving if desired

    A small handful of golden raisins or other dried fruit, such as cherries or a pinch of saffron threads

    2 pinches of ground cardamom

    Honey to taste

    Tiny pinch of salt

    Chopped pistachio nuts

    Plain yogurt, optional

    1. In a small pan, combine the rice with the milk and raisins or other dried fruit. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. While the rice is cooking, stir in the saffron threads, cardamom, honey and salt. Cook until most of the milk has been absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

    2. Transfer the rice to a pretty bowl, and garnish it with a drizzle of honey and the chopped pistachio nuts. If your rice absorbed all the milk and you want more liquid, add more milk or consider adding a few spoonfuls of yogurt.

    米飯：

    2杯水

    1杯白米

    3 / 8茶匙鹽

    用一中型平底鍋，加水燒開。拌入米、鹽。將水燒開，降至低溫，蓋鍋續(xù)煮至水干米熟，約15分鐘。至少12分鐘內(nèi)別掀蓋。當水干米熟，關(guān)火，蒸米10分鐘。這大約產(chǎn)生4杯熟飯 -- 超過布丁食譜所需。

    布丁和材料

    1杯米飯

    3 / 4杯牛奶，視口味可加上更多材料。

    一小撮金葡萄干或其他干果，如櫻桃或一小撮藏紅花絲。

    2撮地豆蔻

    個人喜用的蜂蜜

    小撮鹽

    碎開心果

    純酸奶，可隨意

    用一小鍋，混合米飯、牛奶、和葡萄干或其他干果。中溫熱至微沸，然后火炆。煮米時，拌入藏紅花絲、豆蔻、蜂蜜和鹽。煮10至15分鐘，至大部分牛奶被吸收，多攪拌。

    將熟飯裝入一漂亮的碗中，和加滴蜂蜜及碎開心果裝飾。如嫌太稠，可多加奶類或幾湯匙酸乳。
