Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Basmati Rice, rinsed thoroughly
2 cups Water or Vegetable Broth
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, grated or finely minced
1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
½ teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Cilantro or Green Onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Sauté the Ginger: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the grated or minced ginger and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the ginger, as it can become bitter.
Add Rice and Water: Add the rinsed basmati rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice with the ginger-infused oil. Pour in the water or vegetable broth and add the salt.
Bring to a Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Rest and Fluff: After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the rice to fully absorb the liquid and become perfectly fluffy.
Fluff and Serve: After the resting period, gently fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
