Lately, for me, pa gireum has become a no-brainer way to upgrade a pot of rice. Just one cup of rice is mixed with two whole bunches of scallions.

Mix together your bowl as you would with Mariko’s recipe, but instead of enjoying as is, add about a spoonful of the mixture to the center of some rice paper. Fold the edges of the paper inward ...

Pour in the crushed tomatoes, 1 ½ cups broth, and the rice along with a teaspoon of any seasoning mix you typically enjoy. Mix it well, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and cover the pot with a lid.
