Spicy Thai Rice

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Similar to the original sinangag or fried rice, this red-hot rice dish is made with real spices and is great with other main dishes. Chili powder and garlic powder rarely work for this, too while it also keeps a tangy aroma with the rice.
== Ingredients ==
* 2 cups water 
* 1 cup uncooked rice, white only 
* ¼ cup chopped green onions 
* 2 fresh red chiles, chopped and seeded if desired 
* 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh cilantro 
* 1 tablespoon margarine 
* 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 
* ¾ teaspoon salt 
* 2 teaspoons black pepper 
* ⅛ teaspoon ground turmeric 
* 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice 
* chopped, roasted peanuts for garnishing, optional 
* red pepper flakes for garnishing, optional 
== Directions ==
# Combine water, rice, onions, chiles, cilantro, margarine, ginger, salt, black pepper, and turmeric in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir once or twice. 
# Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. 
# Mix with lime juice; then fluff with fork. 
# Garnish with peanuts and pepper flakes. Serve warm and plain but pair this spice-based rice dish with other main dishes
