Ingredients

1 1/2 cups basmati rice (about 9 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2-inch piece peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
8 large green onions, thinly sliced

    Combine rice, ginger, and 2 1/2 cups water in heavy large saucepan; sprinkle generously with salt. Bring to boil over high heat, stirring once. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes.

    Step 3
