Simple Brothy Rice

Ingredients

• 1 cup White rice (long-grain or jasmine)
• 3 cup Chicken or vegetable broth (low sodium preferred)
• 2 Garlic (cloves, minced)
• 1 tsp Ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil (for finishing)
• 2 Green onions (sliced for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the broth, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the rinsed rice to the boiling broth. Stir once, then reduce the heat to low.

4. 4

   Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender but some broth remains (adjust time based on how 'soupy' you prefer the dish).

5. 5

   Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil.

6. 6

   Ladle the rice and broth into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For a more substantial meal, add shredded chicken, tofu, or a soft-boiled egg. Pair with a crisp tea or a light citrus drink as suggested by the creator.
