- 5 cups cooked basmati rice
- 50 grams fresh ginger grated/shredded
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- a few drops approx 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1 tablespoon spring onions
- salt & pepper to taste
Heat oil in a wok on a medium heat. It is important not to overheat the oil as it will burn the ginger.
Add the shredded ginger and fry it for half a minute. Take care not to brown it.
Add the cooked rice and mix everything well on a high heat for about a minute and a half.
Add salt & pepper to taste and mix. Drizzle with the sesame oil for that oriental touch (only if you will serve it with an oriental side dish)
Garnish with chopped spring onion greens and serve hot with any side dish of your choice.
