[Binky The Doormat]

I made this for a group lunch at a work buddy's house.  All 8 people really liked it.  The texture was odd due to the toasted rice, but it was a weird that I liked.  

Substitutions: I used basmati rice and Earl Grey tea since we didn't have jasmine rice or Oolong/darjeeling tea.  

When I make this next time, I'll skip the tea.  I don't think I tasted it in there, and it complicated the preparation.




 

Did the rice stay hard and crunchy?

No, it was made into a rice pudding as a pre-step, so it was...uh... something like tapioca or barley texture?

Sounds damn fine.  Love that texture.  Especially with a little toasty flavor.
