Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup brown rice

1 1/2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

1 1/2 cups water

1/3 cup minced scallions

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds*

2 teaspoons soy sauce to taste -- up to 3

 

Serves 6. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 45 minutes

 

Toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions add an unexpected crunch to this

simple savory rice, which fits in perfectly with sautés and tofu

dishes. This recipe can be easily doubled and can be the " just right "

contribution that rounds out the offerings at a potluck or buffet. Try it

under our Tofu Hijiki Burgers or with Indian Skillet Black-eyed Peas (see

separate recipes.)

 

In a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, toss the rice with 1/2 teaspoon of

the sesame oil to coat the grains. Add the water, cover, and bring to a

boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is tender, about 40 to

45 minutes. Stir in the scallions, sesame seeds, the remaining sesame oil,

and soy sauce to taste.

 

* Toast sesame seeds in a single layer on an unoiled baking tray at 350F

for to 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant and golden.
