Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Pumpkin Rice Delight.
Step 1
To start your delicious pumpkin rice dish, grab a large saucepan and combine the instant rice with water.
Step 2
Place it over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 3
Once you see those bubbles, cover the saucepan, lower the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer.
Step 4
In about 15 to 20 minutes, the rice will absorb all the water and be perfectly fluffy.
Step 5
While the rice is cooking, take another saucepan and melt some butter over medium-low heat.
Step 6
As the butter melts, stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 7
Let this warm mixture simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it’s heated through and fragrant—this is where the magic happens! Once your rice is ready, fluff it up with a fork to separate the grains, then carefully fold in the warm pumpkin mixture until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 8
Serve this comforting dish warm, and enjoy the cozy flavors of fall in every bite!.
