I brown the chicken in the frying pan and then throw everything into the rice cooker - easy peasy lemon squeezy .

Never had rice pudding made with evaporated milk and I am English!My mum's rice pudding was just short grain rice, sterilised milk (like UHT), sugar, a sprinkle of rolled oats on the top (that's what made it creamy) and a bit of nutmeg if she had any

I could quite happily eat a bowl of plain boiled rice with soy or hot chilli sauce and fresh ginger, or a dollop of jam for dessert - in fact, we often did have boiled rice and jam when we were kids - cheap, filling and yummy!

I made CE's rice pudding at post 3 in the crock pot this morning.Used only 3 c milk in total.
For me, next time I do it I think I will add a pinch of salt, and no butter on top.

made poster no3's rice pudding with the evaporated milk... was not a fan, wrong colour and taste for me. I prefer the old fashioned way or made with coconut milk instead.

For those who are dairy free soy milk makes a great rice pudding.I use 4T shortgrain rice, 1L soy milk, a few dots of margarine, sweetener - I use stevia,'grated fresh nutmeg on top, cook on low 1-1/2 - 2 hrs, stir after 3/4 hr then bake without stirring for rest of time.Really quick and easy.

Rice with gravy - yep regular gravy - in the Philippines they serve KFC with rice (better than the chips) and have a waiter wandering around with a big jug offering "bottomless" gravy to pour on the rice - try it I serve it like this here in NZ.

Put half cup Basmati rice per person onto heavy -bottomed pot-rinse rice well in cold water-until cloudiness goes, then cover with about 2.5cm (1 inch)cold water. Bring to boil, then -turn element to medium, + bubble off nearly all water-until there arejust "mudpool' like plops. Put on tight lid, turn element to just warm + let rice steamfor about 15 mins. Fluff up with fork before serving. Done it this way for 40 years + always good

Creamy Rice Pudding An all-time favourite in our household as a kid. Mum used to use half ordinary milk and a tin of evaporated milk, which makes a beautiful creamy rice,very similar to the "Ambrosia" tinned rice in England -try it, you will be a convert! Ingredients: 4 tbsp short grain rice 1 tbsp sugar 3 & 1/2 cups of milk (use 1 tin evaporated and the balance in ordinary milk) 15g butter nutmeg Method: Place rice in buttered dish. Add sugar & milk (just use the ordinary first,add evaporated a bit later) dot small pieces of butter over the top and sprinkle with grated nutmeg. Bake at 160 for 1 & 1/2 hours,stirring every 30 minutes. As it begins to thicken,stir in evaporated milk and continue cooking till creamy(I add extra milk if required) usually another 30 minutes or so.
