Cook it slowly.
Depending on the type of rice you chose, it may need more or less milk. Cook it slowly to make sure the dish won’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
If you notice that the rice has absorbed all the milk and it’s still hard, add more milk and cook for a bit more.
Serve warm or cold.
If you ask me whether I like to eat my Polish rice pudding hot or cold, I wouldn’t be able to answer.
Ryż z jabłami tastes amazing right after cooking but also the following day when you take it out from the fridge.
Eat it as a dessert or lunch meal.
In Poland, rice pudding is eaten both at lunchtime and as a dessert in the late afternoon.
