This rice is just wonderful with pork or chicken and it really adds something special to the dinner plate. I wouldn’t hesitate to serve it to dinner guests or use it for a special family event (birthday or anniversary perhaps) as well as using it for everyday. Please judge the amount of ginger to your personal taste. If you enjoy strong ginger use as much more as you wish but if you prefer ginger as a softer background flavor use the amount given or less. I hope that you’ll enjoy this, my family sure does.
