Hello Ginger...

This is a wonderful, warming rice dish that is delicious served with stir fried shrimp or chicken and sauteed greens. I recommend buying rice in airtight packaging as to avoid the rancid taste that sometimes occurs with bulk rice. I prefer to use basmati or jasmine rice for this recipe due to its rich flavor and aroma, however, any rice can stand in.

Ginger Rice

serves 4

2 cups chicken or veggie broth

1/2 tbsp. butter

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup rice

2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil

1/4 carrots, diced

1/4 cup chopped green onions

2 medium garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp. fresh ginger, peeled & minced

2 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tsp. ground coriander

In a medium saucepan boil chicken broth, butter and salt. Stir in rice, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat and saute carrots for 2 minutes. Add green onion, garlic and ginger. Saute another 3 minutes. Set aside. When the rice is cooked, stir in carrot/onion mixture, soy sauce and coriander and serve!

And while your at it...wouldn't the table look lovely set with these chopsticks?
