Detailed Steps for Cooking Milky Rice Pudding with Lemon Syrup and Peaches
Wash the peaches and cut each one into 8 pieces. Place them in a large bowl and set aside.
In a deep cooking pot, pour in 2 cups of water, sugar, lemon juice and zest, and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the cooked lemon syrup into the bowl with the peach pieces.
Stir well and cover with a plate to ensure that all the peach pieces are soaked in the syrup. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Wash the rice and remove excess water. No need to soak in water.
In another deep pot, pour in 4 cups of whole milk, vanilla extract, and the remaining sugar. Stir and cook until the sugar dissolves.
Add the white rice, simmer on low heat, and cook slowly.
Stir constantly during the process to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. Cook for about 35 minutes until the milk is almost dry, the mixture is thick, and the rice is plump. Set aside to cool after cooking.
Meanwhile, chop the pistachios for decoration.
Finally, plate the dish. Scoop a spoonful of rice pudding, add two pieces of peach, pour in two spoonfuls of lemon syrup, and sprinkle with a few pistachios.
