Many moons back, I saw on Pei-Lin’s blog a dish called hotdish, made amongst wild rice. I never would’ve thought, I’d larn a risk to endeavor to brand this. But when I received the rice from Gert, I knew I had to endeavor this hotdish. After reading through her recipe, I dread at the idea of baking the rice for 1 hour, together with that’s amongst cooked rice together with everything else cooked! I fifty-fifty asked Pei-Lin whether I tin skip that footstep together with omit the milk. She said, no, baking gives the rice a crust together with form of concord everything together. So, I improvised, reduced the milk and made a cheese topping instead, kekeke, therefore that I withal larn a golden crust without that sum of cooking time. Excuses!!!! Actually I only wanted the rice to live cheesy.. kekeke. But together with then still, 1 hr is definitely every bit good too long to bake cooked rice. My electricity neb is to a greater extent than than RM400/month (2 adults ii kids at domicile only), together with I create non desire to jack it whatever higher.

Added at 12:16pm 14/9/2011: The rice itself tasted similar non sticky dark viscid rice, amongst a nutty aroma.
