Cut open the vanilla pod, scrape out the pulp. Boil up the milk. Add rice, 1 pinch of salt, sugar and vanilla pod and pulp. Let it swell for about 30 minutes at low heat, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile wash, clean and pat dry the strawberries.
Puree approx. 75 g strawberries with the chopping stick, cut the rest into small cubes. Mix cubes and puree and put 1-2 tablespoons each into 4 small, ovenproof moulds (approx. 250 ml content). Spread rice pudding smoothly on top and sprinkle each with approx. 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Place the ramekins on a baking tray and let the sugar caramelise under the grill of the oven until golden brown
