SCALLION RICE

Steps:

• Place a medium-size pot with a lid over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Add the rice to the pan and cook it for a minute, then add the chicken stock.
• Bring the liquids up to a bubble, then put the lid on the pot, reduce the heat and cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, 40-45 minutes (18-20 minutes for white rice).
• Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and stir in scallions.
• Alternately you can cook this in your rice cooker, according to cooking directions. I have to presoak brown rice. Just skip the browning, oil is optional, and add scallions at the end. Fluff and serve.
