  • Coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Transfer the rice to a bowl, and finally, sprinkle some chopped coriander on top.

Notes

  • Freshly-made rice: If you don't have leftover rice, you can still whip up this dish using freshly-made rice. Just remember to cook them only 70% so that they don't fall apart when sauteing them with ginger.
  • Add some broth: Adding some vegetable or chicken broth to the ginger rice can make them so tasty, moist, and irresistible.
