- In a saucepan, melt the vegetable margarine and sauté the rice until it appears slightly translucent.
- Pour in the water and cook until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Once the rice is cooked, add the cinnamon sticks and pour in the skim milk mixed with the dissolved cornstarch.
- Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
