For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the rice in the melted butter and ginger for a minute before adding the water. If you don't have jasmine rice, long-grain rice can be substituted, but jasmine rice is ideal for its fragrance and slightly sticky texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger to suit your taste preferences. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more if you like a stronger ginger flavor.
