Rice Pudding is a familiar and comforting dish across a number of cultures, so it’s no great surprise to see it in Pandaria as well. Its rich and creamy texture, with slight hints of exotic spices, is just the thing for dessert or even breakfast.

This recipe comes from the Valley of the Four Winds and is a favorite of the pandaren cooking master Sungshin Ironpaw. If you want to be a Master Cook, first you’ll need to perfect your Rice Pudding!


4 cups whole milk

1 /2 cup Arborio rice

1 /4 cup raw sugar

1 /2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped out

1 teaspoon Ancient Pandaren Spices

1 whole bay leaf

1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a bubbling simmer, then reduce heat slightly, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing sticks. Continue to cook for about 30 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is soft. Remove the bay leaf and discard.

This dish can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
