👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Rinse the rice well, soak it in water for 30 minutes and drain. Lightly mash the rice. In a pot, bring the unsweetened soy milk to a boil and add the rice.
    StovePot
  2. 2
    Turn down to low and simmer, stirring often, for about 25–30 minutes, until the rice is soft and the mixture creamy.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡Stir often, and toward the end almost nonstop: the rice starch thickens the unsweetened soy milk, and the bottom burns easily.
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  3. 3
    Add the sugar and stir.
  4. 4
    Remove from the heat and add the rose water, cardamom and saffron water.
  5. 5
    Pour into serving bowls and sprinkle the cinnamon and pistachios on top.
