What I like to do is make a big batch of rice whenever you are cooking it for dinner and save the extra. When I am ready to make the pudding I add a bit of water to the rice and nuke it a bit then just make my pudding then add the rice to it and chill it. I have also made it in a slow cooker I just don't know the recipe. Also a tasty treat if you have leftover cooked rice you can add cinnamon and sugar to it and heat it up a bit a tasty dessert that is very easy. If you want the absoulate best rice puddind you need make it like a rissotto.
take a bit of butter and add uncooked arborio rice and let the rice get covered in the butter and get translucient. Then take warmed milk with a vanilla bean that has been scraped and the seeds added. and add a ladleful to the rice and cook till almost all liquid is gone. Then just keep adding in milk slowly and keep stirring. You do that till the rice is al dente. Add in a half a cup of sugar more or less to taste if you want. You could also put some rasins/dried cranberries/dried blueberries to the rice once the first ladle of milk is added. Using this recipe I use a cup of rice and at least 6 cups of milk. It turns out very creamy without adding cream. Also use Splenda and it will be sugarfree. Its great warm and cold

You mean like the beans, right? Because vanilla extract is like an alcohol or something (not that you can get drunk on, because Cletus already tried that after watching the vanilla episode of Good Eats) and it will vaporize in the cooking so there won't be no more vanilla in your rice. That's why I just use instant vanilla pudding because it's already in there.

And is uneatable a word? I always thought it was inedible.

Maybe you used 5 times the amount of rice that the receipt called for?

Art, I would think that you could just mix the rice in and it would be ready in a minute. However, I am not an expert nor a scientist so get some other opinions. Maybe Eemma would know.

If I use Minute Rice do I still have to cook the rice, or will it just soak up the pudding and get mushy by itself?

I know it is. You could always buy some rice from a Chinese restaurant. Then you could make ethnic rice pudding.

Yes, hon, I would cook the rice or you might break a tooth.

The great thing about using pudding cups is that every member of the family can pick their own flavor of pudding.

You could try it. It wouldn't be uneatable and may be quite good. I would use cooked rice - even if you use a pudding you need to cook because you would have to adjust the liquid in the pudding to compensate for the liquid the rice needs, but I would add a little vanilla to the rice while it was cooking. (I like vanilla!)
