2 large green onions, chopped
Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and tumeric and saute for 5 minutes. Mix in rice, water, lemon grass and salt. Bring to simmer. Cover. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed--about 18 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand covered for 10 minutes. Discard lemon grass.
Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add green onion and saute one minute. Add to rice and stir until heated through.
Yield: 8 servings
