Rice Pudding

½ c. short grain rice

4 c. milk – we usually use whole milk but yesterday I used half coconut milk and half 2%

½ c. sugar

Nutmeg

Cinnamon stick

Lemon rind

Vanilla

Put everything in a double boiler and cook for 3-4 hours (I think I only did it for 2 hours yesterday – it was before work, and thickened nicely!) Top with toasted coconut, or almonds, or pistachios, or serve it plain.

Vegan Pho

4 cups of veggie broth 
3 cups pure water 
1 onion chopped to quarters 
Big piece of ginger chopped 
3 big garlic cloves 
3 star anise 
3 cardamom pods 
5 whole cloves 
1 tbsp fennel seeds 
1 tsp black pepper 
1 cinnamon stick 
1 tsp sea salt 
3 tbsp soy sauce 
(rice noodles too!)

Chop ginger roughly than the onion into quarters and put in the oven to broil until edges begin to golden. Add to a big soup pot all the ingredients bring to boil than cover with a lid , lower the heat and let it cook for 1 hour , than discard all the ingredients (you can strain it too ) Chop what ever veggies you like I added sprouted tofu , broccoli , mushrooms , cabbage and bean sprout with lime ! Be creative , carrots , green beans , shallots , basil , cilantro , mint are all great toppings.
