Melt 1 tbs. of the butter and olive oil in a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
Add the ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the rice and stir until well coated.
Add the coconut milk, 1-1/2 cups water, and 3/4 tsp. salt; bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Fluff with a fork, cover, and set aside and enjoy!
