Rice with Ginger & Carrots

Since I decided to make a new stir fry yesterday, I decided it was also time to experiment with a new rice recipe as well.  I now have a grater, so I was able to tackle that fresh ginger again (thanks, Chris!)  I was very pleased with the results.  It was spicy, but not hot or salty; a delicious complement to any stir fry.  Plus, my oldest son ate some too, and he sure can be picky!

Rice with Ginger & Carrots

An Amy Original

1 ¼ cups rice (uncooked)

2 ½ cups water

1 tsp dry chicken stock

2 tsp olive oil

1 tsp fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup onion, diced

1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)

Combine rice, water, and chicken stock in a pot.  Bring to a boil.  Cover and reduce heat to low.  Cook for 18 minutes.  Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet, add the ginger, garlic, and onion.  Sauté for about 1 minute.  Add the cooked rice and fry lightly, about 5 minutes.  Stir in carrots, cook an additional 2-3 minutes until carrots are tender-crisp.  Serve with stir fry.

Enjoy!
