3. Heat the 150ml of low fat milk and 50ml of evaporated milk in a non stick pot till it boils in medium low heat.
Do not let the milk boil for too long!


Pour the boiling milk into the rice paste.

4. Pour the boiling milk into the mixing bowl and stir to mix with the rice paste. When well mixed, pour the mixture back to the pot. Add in the raw sugar and heat the mixture in low heat and stir regularly till the mixture turns thick.
You may stop heating when the back of the spatula starts to coat by a thin layer of milk.


When the milk well incorporated with the
rice paste, return the mixture back to
pot and continue to heat till the mixture

Stop heating when the milk mixture
thickens.

5. Take out the chilled metal mixing bowl and ice bath from the fridge. Pour the rice milk mixture and the remaining 100ml of low fat milk into the metal mixing bowl, and rest over the ice water bath. Stir till the temperature drop. 

When the mixture thickens, pour the
remaining milk into and mix well.

rapid cool down.

6. Chill the milk mixture in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour.

7. If you have a food processor, blend the milk mixture and the 3/4 portion of the diced strawberry to make a milk shake. This is to introduce air into the ice cream to make it taste smoother and lighter.
Return the mixture back to the mixing bowl and chill in the fridge.
If you are not using a food processor or blender, mix the strawberry purée with milk mixture using a whisk.
