Wash rice.  Put all ingredients in rice cooker and cook following manufacturers setting, mine has a brown rice setting.  When rice is done, the leaves and stalks and ginger should be on the top and can easily be removed before fluffing with a fork and serving with a spoon.

If you don't have a rice cooker.  Bring liquid to a boil with aromatics, add rice, stir, cover pot and bring down to a simmer.  Cook for about 30 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is soft, but not mushy.
