Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in Majuro or neighborhood grocery stores. Look for skim milk and cornstarch in the baking or dairy aisles. If you cannot find vegetable margarine, unsalted butter is a common substitute, though the texture profile may change slightly.
Preparation method
- In a pot, melt the vegetable margarine and sauté the rice until it becomes slightly translucent.
- Add the water and cook until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Once the rice is cooked, add the cinnamon sticks to the pot and pour in the skim milk mixed with the dissolved cornstarch.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and reaches a boil.
- Remove from heat, add the powdered sweetener, and stir well to combine.
- Allow the rice pudding to cool slightly before serving.
- Divide into bowls, dust with ground cinnamon, and garnish with orange zest.
