I know this is an old recipe but I just found it today. I'll be trying this tonight with the leftover rice from our Chinese food last night. I just wanted to point out to all those saying in the comments that you usually throw your rice away - you can also use that leftover white rice to make fried rice. It's so easy and you can customize it to your personal tastes so easily and it's another great way to use up that leftover rice. Thank you for this recipe - can't wait to try it!

I thought this recipe was ridiculous and would never work, yet I made it anyway. OMG so easy and so good! I’ve been dumping Chinese steamed white rice in the trash for years when I could have been making pudding! Outstanding recipe I will use over and over again! Love it!

What a great idea, such a tasty and simple way of using up cooked rice... I think that rice pudding is such a great, simple and frugal dessert, probably the reason why my Mum cooked it all the time growing up ;)
