Ingredients:
==========
1.5 Cups Jasmine Rice
2.25 Cups Water
2 Cloves (1 Teaspoons) Garlic, finely minced or 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Ounce (about 1 inch) Fresh Ginger, peeled and minced
1 Tablespoon Fresh Cilantro, finely chopped

Directions:
=========
Place Rice in fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water. Stir with your hand until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly.
Stovetop Method
Add the Rice and the Water into a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the Ginger, Garlic, and the Cilantro.
Bring to a low boil.
Continue to boil about 5 minutes, until the water has reduced below the top of the Rice.
Reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes, until the Rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed.
Remove from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
Instant Pot Method
In a large Instant Pot (5 or 6 quarts), add the water.
Mix in the Rice, Garlic, Ginger, and Cilantro.
Seal the Instant Pot and set on Low for 8 minutes.
Start the Instant Pot cooking process.
When the cooking time has finished, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes
After 10 minutes, manually release the remaining pressure and Open the Instant Pot.
Fluff the rice with a fork.
Sprinkle with Shredded Carrot, as a garnish.
Serve.
