2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed into a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 cup packed coriander sprigs, washed well, spun dry, and chopped fine

Set sieve over another kettle of boiling water (rice should not touch water) and steam rice, covered with a kitchen towel and lid, 20 minutes, or until tender (check water level in kettle occasionally, adding water if necessary).
In a large bowl stir together remaining ingredients except coriander and add rice. Toss mixture until combined well. Cool rice to room temperature and stir in coriander.
