Ginger Brown Rice with Kale

This was suppose to be for supper tonight but turned out so good we couldn't wait.
So...lunch and supper it is. No complaining from me.

It's awesome!

I ended up adding just a touch of salt and pepper once it was done 
but that's going to depend on how salty your broth is. 

We ate it with a drizzle of soy sauce, but it would also be 

great with a drop or two of sesame oil  and/or toasted sesame seeds.
