- If you prefer a stronger sesame flavor, you can toast sesame seeds and sprinkle them over the cooked rice.
- For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a splash of soy sauce while cooking the rice.
- Use fresh ginger root for the best flavor; you can easily grate it for a more intense taste.
- Adjust the amount of cilantro to your preference—add more for a fresher taste or less if you prefer a subtler hint.
