FIVE-SPICE RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in medium saucepan, add rice, stir until boil returns, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 15 mins. When rice is done add milk, stir well, add dry ingredients and stir well again. Simmer 15-20 mins or until mixture has thickened somewhat, stirring very frequently. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, put into bowl, refrigerate uncovered for at least half an hour.
