It is ready available in health food stores or even local grocery stores,\u00a0 It is used in both sweet and savory baked goods. Unlike wheat flour, you can make your own at home! Start by measuring out\u00a0 2 cups\u00a0 of short-grain rice like Arborio rice or Egyptian rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly under running cold water to remove impurities, then spread the rice out on kitchen paper towels and allow\u00a0 to dry out for 1 hour, this will help to achieve a finer flour texture. Transfer it to a highpower blender or food processor, and grind in batches, until it reaches a powdery consistency. Measure the needed amount in the recipe and store the rest in an airtight container for later use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Flavor enhancers: mastic and orange blossom water<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>This sublime dessert gets its deep Middle Eastern flavors and aromas from a combination of\u00a0<strong>mastic gum and orange blossom water<\/strong>, lending it a lovely hint of sophisticated floral taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/hr-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/hr-9.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/hr-9-233x300.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Cheese!<\/h2>\n<h4>It is a straight forward pudding; the only tricky part is to ensure that your cheese is perfectly melted.<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid using pre-packaged shredded cheese\u00a0as it often contains additives that can prevent proper melting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose the right cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0Not all cheeses are created equal when it comes to melting. Opt for cheeses that have good melting properties such as Tchiki Akkawi or mozzarella, though I gravitate more to Tchiki Akkawi\u00a0 for its flavor, but still mozzarella is great for stretchiness. These types of cheeses have higher fat content and lower moisture, which makes them melt smoothly. Akawi cheese is a type of Middle Eastern cheese that is commonly used in a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes. It is heavily salted and need to be\u00a0 soaked to get rid of its saltiness, use the best quality you can find, the best substitute would be mozzarella cheese, and rememer that the quality of cheese will definitely affect how the final taste of halawit al riz is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If you are using Tchiki Akkawi cheese<\/strong>\u00a0then it needs to be desalted since it is loaded with salt for preservation. Cut the cheese into squares, cover with water and soak it for 8 hours, changing the water every 1 hour to reduce its saltiness.\u00a0<strong>Skip this step if you are using mozzarella!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the cheese at the right time:<\/strong>\u00a0Timing is crucial when it comes to melting cheese in \u201cHalawet Al Riz\u201d. Wait three minutes after cooking the pudding before adding the cheese. If you add the cheese too early, it may become grainy or separate. If you wait too much the pudding will cool and the cheese will not melt. Make the pudding as mentioned in the recipe, remove from heat,\u00a0<strong>wait exactly three minutes ,<\/strong>\u00a0then gradually add in the shredded cheese and stir gently until it melts and integrate with the pudding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4952 size-full\"

Wait three minutes after cooking the pudding before adding the cheese. If you add the cheese too early, it may become grainy or separate. If you wait to much the pudding will cool and the cheese will not melt so, remove from heat, wait exactly three minutes , then gradually add in the grated cheese ; stir gently until it melts completely.
