Ginger Rice Recipe: Rice Cooker Style

If not the whole world, countless voices have already extolled the benefits of ginger. So, I’m not here to be another parrot. What makes my ginger rice special? It’s made with freshly harvested ginger from Nava’s Zen - specifically, the prized Bentong Ginger variety (WHAT TO DO IN BENTONG). By the way, anyone can grow ginger. There’s no rigid rulebook for it. The same goes for making ginger rice. But a gentle reminder - too much ginger can increase body heat, so moderation is key to reaping its benefits.

As always, I used my trusty rice cooker for this recipe. What I absolutely love about fresh ginger is its refreshing aroma, which transforms ginger rice into a sensory experience. From the moment you peel and slice it, then add it to the rice, the uplifting scent of ginger fills your kitchen - natural aromatherapy at its finest (COCONUT CREAMED SPINACH RECIPE). 

Ginger rice is simply aromatic, incredibly easy to prepare, and a delight to savor. It pairs beautifully with any side dish or works as a satisfying meal on its own. Ginger rice is simply aromatic, incredibly easy to prepare, and a delight to savor.
