Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 quarts water
1 ½ cups medium-grain rice
1 (3 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
10 ounces white fish, cut into small chunks
2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the water, rice, ginger, and bouillon granules in 6-quart Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and mixture is creamy and thick, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove ginger pieces and discard.
  • Meanwhile, put fish, green onions, and pepper in a bowl. Let marinate 15 minutes.
  • Stir fish mixture and salt into the pot. Simmer gently until rice is very soft and fish is falling apart, about 20 minutes. Taste and season with additional salt if desired. Stir in cilantro.
