Creamy Sushi Rice Pudding

The starch in the calrose sushi rice makes this a very creamy rice
pudding. Look in the Asian section of your supermarket for calrose
variety rice. Walmart also carries calrose rice. Calrose is a variety
of rice, not a name brand.

1 cup calrose sushi rice, uncooked
2 cups water

1-1/2 cups milk, heated almost to a simmer
1/2 cup granulated sugar (add more or less, to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2/3 cup of raisins, regular or golden

1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter


In a 2-qt covered saucepan, heat 2-cups of water to boiling.
Stir in rice, adjust heat to a low simmer, stir rice once more, cover
pan and simmer rice for 20 minutes without peeking.

When rice is done, in another pan, or in microwave, heat 1-1/2 cups of
milk almost to a simmer. Stir in sugar and vanilla.

Add the 1-1/2 cups of heated milk/sugar to rice and simmer for 6
minutes, stirring frequently. Make sure and stir the rice on the
bottom of pan to avoid scorching.

Stir in raisins and simmer for another 3 minutes. Stirring frequently.

In a small bowl, stir 1/2 cup of milk with beaten egg and salt.

Add milk/egg mixture to rice and simmer for 2-minutes, stirring
