Rice week: Java rice

I decided this week is rice week. As a start to the week, I will try Java rice. The filipino version. Since there are so many recipes out there, I decided to compile a few and see where that takes me.

First off, java rice by casa veneracion

Here is her recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 tbsps. of coconut (or some other palm) oil
• 2 tbsps. of finely minced garlic
• 2 tbsps. of finely minced ginger
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 2 tbsps. of finely minced lemongrass
• 1 finely chopped bird’s eye chili
• 1 tsp. of turmeric powder
• 6 c. of cold cooked rice
• salt, to taste
• crisp onion slices and chopped scallion (onion leaves), to garnish

It looks simple enough, and I love that she did a step by step with photos. I'm not sure about ginger, and lemongrass being in the rice though. Wouldn't biting into those ingredients be a not so pleasant experience?
