Rice with Scallions & Sesame
This jazzed-up brown scallion rice is super easy to make and is perfect as a flavourful side dish to an array of main meals!
Ingredients
- 200 g (1 cup) rice (see note 1)
- 2 small scallions thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp lime juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Add your rice to a small bowl and cover with cool water. Agitate the rice with your hands and drain through a fine mesh sieve. Repeat this step 2 or 3 times, or until the water runs relatively clear.
- Add the rice to a saucepan and cover with 400ml (1¾ cups) of cool water. Cover the pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and allow to gently simmer until all of the water has been absorbed - about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the rice to stand in the pot, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Add your cooked rice to a large mixing bowl. Add the scallions, cilantro, sesame seeds, lime zest, soy sauce, sesame oil and lime juice. Stir until thoroughly combined and serve immediately.
Notes
1. I am using brown basmati rice but any variety of rice will work here
