Ginger Rice

This rice goes perfectly with the Barbecued Lemon Chicken and is very easy to make:

Ginger Rice

2 cups chicken stock
1 Tb butter
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup carrots, diced
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tb fresh ginger, minced
2 Tb spy sauce
1 tsp ground coriander

In a medium saucepan, boil chicken stock, butter and salt.  Stir in rice, cover, reduce heat and simmer 20-25 minutes (I did this part in a ricemaker). Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat and sauté 2 minutes.  Add green onion, garlic and ginger.  Sauté 3 more minutes.  Set aside.  When rice is cooked, stir in carrot/onion mixture, soy sauce and coriander.  Serve hot.

This recipe comes out of Simply Classic, put out by the Junior League of Seattle.  It is one of our favorite cook books, so far having no recipe that we have not found absolutely delicious.  Our Costco stores in the PNW carry it, plus another one called Celebrate the Rain, which is equally as great.
