Sesame Rice

This is how I love my brown rice. I always use short grain rice, adding about 1/2 cup more water than called for. With a splash of soy sauce, I'm in heaven!

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  cup brown rice
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons  dark  toasted sesame oil

• 1⁄3 cup  minced scallion
• 2  tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 2 -3  teaspoons soy sauce, to taste

Directions

1. In a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, toss the rice with 1/2 teaspoons of the sesame oil to coat the grains.
