Many years ago my Welsh aunt used to make me rice pudding. She would cook it
on the stove instead of baking it in the usual way. She said it was an old
Welsh method of making rice pudding
It was approx 4 oz(UK) pudding rice (must be a short grained sticky type
rice, Arborio would do but pudding rice is better), about a pint of full fat
milk (UK), some raisins and currants, and a pinch of cinnamon. None of the
amounts are critical. The rice would be cooked in the milk for about 20 - 25
minutes, then the rest of the ingredients were added for another 5 - 10
minutes. Then it was ready.
The end result was a delicious and creamy moist pudding with sufficient
thick liquid left so that it was still just a bit runny. The final touch was
a big dollop of strawberry or blackcurrant jam placed on top of each pudding
which sank into the rice and only a small hint of what was there was
visible. It was always a huge hit.

I know it isn't rice pud, but you asked where it came from. As I said
before, my guess would be British cooking; cheap, filling, warming, comfort
food. Shocking at its worst, wonderful at its best!

I used to eat this as a child. Except I had it with warm milk,
sugar and a pat of butter. It was a regular breakfast item - the
entire breadfast.

We ate this all the time as kids (I didn't have actual boxed cereal until
I was 12). My mom came here from Japan in her 20's, so although the
British may eat this, I would suspect the origins are from somewhere where
rice is cooked every night for dinner & the leftovers are used
up the next day in fried rice, rice balls and like this.
When I have leftover plain rice, I usually melt in a little real butter
and put a tiny bit of Marmite in it. Nice flavor. And lots of B
vitamins.
I think this is a mid-western thang.
My mother, from Oklahoma, would crumble day old cornbread into a glass of
buttermilk. YUCK. Only thing buttermilk is good for is cooking
On the other hand I enjoy hot cooked rice w/butter, cream and a bit of sugar.
Do the same w/grits.

Cornbread crumbled into buttermilk is known as "Crumblin'" in Texas. I think
this is a southern thing more than a midwestern thing. I have friends for
Georgia who also use up their day old cornbread this way.
I wasn't going to comment on this, but Ack. Gack. Pflegh.
(convulsing at the thought of Japanese rice and milk)
P'raps your mom is very unusual, if you got the recipe from her.
She would be the only Japanese person older than 20 or 30 that
I've ever heard of even thinking about mixing milk and rice in
that manner. I'll put rice into a creamed soup (cream of mushroom
and rice, for example). But with sugar?
I'm firmly in the "rice as a savory" camp, and the closest I'll
get to rice pudding is horchata, or tapioca pudding.
I'll let Steve (in Osaka) tell us if the shinjinrui (the young
and wacky) have decided that it's the next logical step to
cheese on your mochi (again, IMHO, blech)...
What a wonderful diverse world...(My mother puts fish flakes
in her oatmeal, just like she would in o-kayu (rice porridge)).

Warm rice brown sugar, sprinkle of cinnamon and just enough milk to wet it.

Sorry, but you generalize too much. My Mom is 73. My grandmother is 96,
and she eats it too. Maybe it isn't
common in your famliy, but my numerous
relatives tend to enjoy lots of sweet thing like this. (My mom's
the only one in the US - the rest remain in Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka & Tokyo.)
What they don't like at all is dairy products, especially cheese.

You're right, I did generalize. A LOT.
But I'm a little confused by your comment about "sweet things".
My family loves pastries, etc. but NOT MIXED WITH RICE.
Now, there are lots of Japanese sweet rice recipes, but those are
not with milk.
Wagashi is an example of mochi-gome and sweetening, and o-hagi
does have plain rice with mochi-gome, but "milk + gohan" isn't all
that common, IMHO.
And the presence in your family of this dish only indicates that it's
common in your family. I wasn't trying to insult your family, more
marvelling at the diversity that's out there.
My sample was taken from Japanese families in my acquaintance, not
only my own, and at least in the U.S., the "dis-preference" (coined
word) of Japanese for milk mixed with rice is documented. See stories
in WWII internment camps.
What can I say, though, palates differ widely, and what's done to
Western cuisines in Japan evokes horror in others...Corn on Pizza,
for ex. Fusion cooking can be fun. Mentai-spaghetti. Thai BBQ
pizza.
Sorry if I caused distress. Wasn't my intention.

It was just that - leftover rice instead of cereal. We never ate regular
boxed cereal as kids! I haven't eaten it that way for a while, but I
usually make extra rice anyway because fried rice is a quick and easy
dinner to whip up when I get home from work. I don't have a real recipe -
just throw in whatever is in the fridge.
Does anyone have any great recipes that use leftover rice?

I guess there's two different components here - sweet stuff and dairy. It
seems like most Japanese enjoy their sweets, but many older
folks don't care for dairy. You're right, there are not many (if any)
traditional recipes that include milk. The breakfast thing is more of a
"I've got five hungry kids and they need to eat something before school"
kind of thing rather than any real recipe.
Here's a sweet rice recipe (not Japanese - I'm not sure what the
origin is). It's really good with curry or other spicy dishes.

Rice with Coconut
Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:45
Categories : Rice
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion -- chopped
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 red bell pepper -- chopped
2 cups white rice
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 14 ounce can reduced fat coconut milk
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons coconut shreds -- fresh or dried
In a 3- to 4-quart nonstick pan over high heat, stir oil and onion often
until onion is
limp, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and bell pepper: stir until pepper is
limp, about 2 1/2
minutes.
Add rice to pan and stir until grains begin to turn opaque, about 2
minutes.
Add tumeric and sir about 30 seconds. Add coconut milk and broth. Bring to
a boil,
cover and simmer on low heat unitl rice is tender to bite, 20 to 25
minutes.
Spoon into dish and sprinkle with coconut. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Won't call it fattening (at least not more than many meat dishes here)
but Milchreis (directly translated to milk rice) is a very common dish
here. You can either eat it as main dish or as a dessert (the dessert
one really is fatty as one uses crema for it, look for Reis
Trautmannsdorf).
As I main dish I take a 200 ml (0.8 C) cup with sticky rice and put it into
1 l (1 quart) milk and then cook that slowly for about 30-50 mins. Then I
add another 250-500 ml (1-2 C) milk as the mix will be too stiff ;-)
and sugar to taste and heat it another 5 mins.
I serve the hot rice pudding with cold plum compott or fresh plums if
available. Sour cherries, blueberries or apricot may work too (these 4
fruits are my favourites with milky food).
Yummy summer treat or nice dessert (and no, I never made the abover
mentioned dessert as it is too fatty and too complicate for my liking)

I make it with just the rice and 1.5% milk -- and it isn't "fattening" at
all! We have it with applesauce... it's a yummy main dish ("Mehlspeise")
for my (Bavarian) husband, and a even yummier dessert for calorie
conscious (sometimes) me.
:-)
Does anyone know if this special type of rice which is used in milk rice
here in Germany is available in other parts of the world? What's it
called?

Sorry,
Mehlspeise means a dish made from flour (Mehl=flour), think, Barb meant
Hauptspeise (Haupt=main). Both Mehlspeisen and Milchreis are normally
sweet main dishes or dessert, though ;-)
And the rice normally used for it is called either Milchreis or Rundkornreis
(round kernel rice) here. I think that it is more starchy than the
normal one but I also boiled standard Langkornreis (long kernel rice)
the same way and got a decent dish.
Carmen,
who wonders how Basmati rice will stay up to 3/4-1 hour cooking with
lots of milk
