Ginger Jasmine Rice

Ginger Jasmine Rice -

Yummy, easy, addictive side dish that complements a wide variety of Asian and Fusion dishes! I use a micro plane to grate my ginger, and a spoon's edge to easily [& not wastefully] peel it.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil or 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup jasmine rice
1 cup water or 1 cup stock

Directions:

Rinse rice with water until water runs clear.
Heat butter or oil in pan over medium to low heat. Saute garlic, ginger & salt for about a minute at most or until fragrant. Add rice and stir well.
Add liquid. Bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, simmer about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice tender.
