Split the vanilla pod in half lengthways and scrape out the seeds. Place the pod and seeds in a large saucepan with the milk, sugar and salt and heat to a gentle simmer. Pour in the rice and stir well. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat when all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
