Has anyone cooked with these? I was thinking they might make a very nice creamy rice pudding. Any other ideas?

Finish with some minced ginger and chopped green onion. Asian comfort food. My wife became addicted to this at our Hong Kong hotel's breakfast buffet.

You might also want to search for recipes for "cream of rice" Lots of folks that can't have wheat use this stuff.

Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills worked with Clemson University until they could get it back into production again. I was down at the mill about two years ago and we tasted an array of the Anson Mills products that had been prepared by the chef from Garibaldi's. Grits, polenta, rice. Everything was just amazing. Grits and rice are like religion to Roberts. The quality of his products show it.

Put the rice to soak as directed yesyerday and then cooked it up this adtrnoon. It is now chilling. It ia a very creamy rice pudding made so by the addition of creme anglaise. I found it a bit too sweet fo my taste so i added some Old Grog rum, good addition. It will be served with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Fri Mar 23 13:16:24 -0700 2007 2395682 10285 Candy
