1 cup              orange juice

1/2                 sweet brown onion, chopped

1/2                 red bell pepper, diced

2. Add broth, juice, crystallized ginger and rice, bring mixture to a boil.
3. Cover saucepan with a lid and reduce heat to simmer for 45 minutes.
4. Take saucepan or dutch oven off the heat and let the mixture rest in the covered pan for 10 minutes.
5. Uncover the pan, stir rice.  Some of the liquid will still be present, similar to a wet risotto.
