Step 9:

Rinse the rice and cook it in water for about 10 minutes, until half done. Rinse the raisins and cut the figs and dates into small pieces. Stir them into the rice, then add the ginger and sugar. Pour in a cup of milk and simmer over low heat until the rice is fully cooked. Let the pudding cool. Fold the whipped egg whites into the cooled mixture and stir to combine. Rinse a bowl with cold water, spoon in the pudding, and chill it in the refrigerator. Before serving, garnish with pieces of fresh fruit — or, if you don't have any on hand, dried fruit works just as well for decorating Australian rice pudding.
