1/2 c. brown basmati rice

2 cs. water

6 green cardamom pods

1 quart low-fat soy milk

1/4 tsp. salt

1 stick cinnamon

2 tbsps. brown sugar,(packed), plus Brown sugar -- for garnish

Combine rice and water in saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and

simmer 5 minutes. Drain rice and set aside.

Wrap cardamom pods in cheesecloth and tie with string. Place in large

saucepan and add soy milk, rice, salt, cinnamon stick and 2 tablespoons

brown sugar. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until rice is

tender and liquid reduces until pudding-like, 45 to 50 minutes.

Remove cinnamon stick and cardamom packet from saucepan. Blend a little of

hot liquid into egg substitute, then stir all into hot pudding. Heat and

stir just until thickened, about 1 minute.

Let cool slightly, then serve in large shallow bowls and sprinkle with brown

sugar.
