Cut the vanilla pod open lengthwise and scrape out the pulp with a sharp knife. Boil up the milk. Add rice, 1 pinch of salt, sugar, vanilla pulp and vanilla pod. Leave to swell over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30-35 minutes.
Remove the vanilla pod, let the rice pudding cool down a little.
In the meantime, wash, clean and pat dry the strawberries. Cut the strawberries into small cubes and mix with 1 tbsp. brown sugar.
Divide the strawberries into four small ovenproof moulds (each containing approx. 1/4 l). Pour in rice pudding. Sprinkle each with 1 tbsp. brown sugar evenly. Caramelise under the grill with a kitchen gas burner or in the oven for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
