"This one's a bit different-using crystallized ginger instead of fresh ginger. VERY spicy! Go ahead and add the garlic if you want. From the Starch Blocker Diet cookbook."

What a great rice, for me the addition of the crystalized ginger made this so amazing I could heat it by myself, such a great blend of flavors. I'd saved this so long ago had almost forgottn about it by soooooo glad I remembered as it's a winner in my book. I didn't have peanut oil, but did have grape seed oil and used that which worked fine.

Excellent "do ahead" recipe!!! I did not use green onions (forgot to buy them) so used a half a white onion chopped. I can't handle anything to spicy so this was a perfect blend for me!!Absolutely loved this dish and will do this one again and again!!! Thanks for the posting!

Lovely rice! I wouldn't say it's spicy, but it sure is tasty! I made this to go with some sweet potato edamame wraps in chard leaves, and the slight sweetness of the ginger and the nutty flavor of the rice were a great complement to the sweet & bitter wraps. Super easy and the simple flavors make it a nice side. Thanks for sharing!

Great stuff and colorful. I did try using my mini food processor to mince up the ginger-wrong move it ended up being a sticky gob, so ended up tossing that out and diced with w/my paring knife. Served this with recipe#149924 and recipe#261067

Loved it! Served it with a beef stir-fry and it rocked! It's flavors are fabulous but definitely complement what it is served with. It has a touch of sweetness. This worked well with the stirfry recipe I used. The stirfry recipe had no sugar in it and needed just a bit of sweetness, the light sweetness of the rice really made the beef stirfry complete. Thanks Cookgirl!
