Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 1-inch-long pieces fresh ginger, peeled, each cut into 4 rounds, plus plus 1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 2/3 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 1/3 cups chopped fresh cilantro

Blend until almost smooth. Season cilantro oil to taste with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.
