Ginger Cilantro Rice

Added by Fillylourecipes Source: Bon Appetit June 2010

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 2 1 inch-long pieces fresh ginger, peeled, cut into 4 rounds
  • 1 teaspoon minced, peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 2/3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/3 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon or more unseasoned rice vinegar

Directions

Combine rice and ginger rounds in a large saucepan (I used my rice cooker.) Add broth; sprinkle with salt. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Cover; reduce heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender and broth is absorbed - 20 to 45 minutes depending on white or brown rice. Rice cooker takes longer.

Meanwhile, combine chopped cilantro, green onion, and minced ginger in mini food processor. Add both oils and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Blend until almost smooth. Season cilantro oil to taste with salt, pepper and more vinegar if desired.(This is really like a mayonnaise.) Transfer rice to a bowl, remove ginger rounds and mix in cilantro oil. Serve.
