Start by washing and roughly chopping the small poblano pepper, green onions, and fresh spinach. Peel the garlic clove and mince the fresh ginger if you're using it. Gather your ingredients on a clean, spacious cutting board to ensure your work area is organized and ready for a smooth cooking experience.

In a blender, combine the chopped poblano pepper, spinach, cilantro, green onions, garlic, minced ginger (if using), kosher salt, coconut milk, and water. Blend on high for about 30 seconds, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, showcasing a vibrant green color that indicates freshness and flavor.

Transfer the delicious green sauce to a large mixing bowl. Next, add the warmed cooked rice, breaking up any clumps to ensure even mixing. Stir thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes until every grain is coated in the Spicy Green Rice sauce, making sure the dish is not too soupy.

Once the spicy green rice is mixed well, serve it immediately while hot for the best flavor. Alternatively, if you’d like to store it, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to three days. To keep the dish fresh, consider mixing the rice with the sauce just before serving.
