Notes
1. To make this recipe gluten-free, use liquid coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce. 2. This recipe works best with cold and dried out rice. Use leftover take out rice, or ice that you cooked a nice previous. You can also cook rice and spread it out on a dinner place (uncovered) in the fridge for an hour. 3. To pressure cook brown rice: add 1.25 cups long grain brown rice and 1 ⅔ cup water to a pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Natural-release the pressure for 10 minutes and then quick-release the pressure until all the pressure has escaped. 4. To pressure cook white, rice, follow these directions. 5. For best results, use a microplane zester to grate your ginger. First, peel the ginger and then grate it on the zester like you would grate cheese on a cheese grater.
