Ginataang Mais (Rice with Corn Pudding)
This is a comfort food. Brilliant and tasty as an afternoon snack. It stave off hunger pangs before the evening dinner.
It is easy to cook, just leave it simmering and giving it a stir now and again and it is done. A beautifully delicious rice corn pudding.
Ingredients:
1 cup corn kernels (canned corn kernels can be used or 3 heads of fresh corn in the cob, just run a sharp knife over the kernels to get to them.
1/2 cup malagkit or pudding rice, washed thoroughly.
5 cups of coconut milk
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 – 1 cup Sugar (to taste)
Method of preparation:
Boil the pudding rice with the water and coconut milk over a medium heat.
Add the corn kernels, salt.
As you add the sugar, take a little taste to test for sweetness. Add more sugar according to your taste.
Turn down the heat and simmer. Give it an occassional stir so that the rice won’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
It is cooked when it has a consistency of a traditional rice pudding.
Serve hot.
