I seasoned the rice by adding ginger and fresh ground pepper - when it was just about done I added some soy sauce too.
I thought that it turned out good - made yummy leftovers too! Steve said it was good but apparently he doens't like almonds - oops, would have been nice to know that before I made dinner - oh well!
