Rice with ginger and lemon

Method

1. 01

   Ingredients: rice (long), ginger root, lemon, sesame.

2. 02

   First thing you do is take the peel off the lemon. This can be done either with a special knife or with an ordinary small grater. It is important to cut only the yellow crust, without affecting the white flesh (it is bitter).

3. 03

   From half (maybe less) of lemon juice squeeze. I usually use a citrus juicer, but since in this case, much of it is not required, squeezed out with my hands.

4. 04

   The root of the ginger is cleaned and rubbed on a small grater.

5. 05

   Rice wash in cold (only cold) running water several times.

6. 06

   In a small pan pour butter, heat it, lay out ginger and slightly (no more than a minute) roast it, constantly stirring. Add rice with lemon peel and stirring, roast for a couple of minutes.

7. 07

   Then pour rice with cold water in a ratio of 1: 2, salt. Cook till the rice is ready. By the way, lemon can be replaced with lime. In my opinion, it is even more combined with the taste of rice, the only thing that costs more.

8. 08

   In the meantime, you need to roast sesame in a dry pan without adding oil. This process usually does not take much time (no more than 3-5 minutes).

9. 09

   Mix the finished rice with toasted sesame seed and pour lemon juice. My husband likes to pour soy sauce on the whole thing. That seems to me to be completely unnecessary.
