The pairs that carry this dish. Each one is judged two ways: how much their aromas overlap, and how often cooks already put them together.

What each ingredient does
- Rizine
- Rice starch that absorbs the liquid and softens into a creamy, thick pudding.
- Milk
- Liquid that cooks the rice and gives the pudding its creamy body and sweetness.
- Marmalade
- Adds fruity sweetness and a bright, bitter citrus aroma.
The step that matters
Cooking the rizine in the milk at a gentle boil. Condensed milk is high in sugar and scorches easily. A gentle boil keeps it from catching and burning on the pot bottom while the rice absorbs liquid, softens, and thickens the milk.
