How to Make Asian Inspired Rice

Rinse 1 cup of white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for fluffy rice.
In a rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice, 1 1/4 cups of water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger.
Cook according to your rice cooker's instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork before serving.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite Asian-inspired entree.
