Sesame Brown Rice Time: 20 minutes or whatever your package says
Try to find a quick-cooking brown rice or adjust the time accordingly. I use 'Uncle Ben's' which is all I can get. It looks like brown Basmati and cooks in 15 min. You could substitute regular Basmati if you prefer.
I get the sesame seeds already toasted but if yours aren't just 'fry' them in a nonstick skillet, without anything added, (just naked seeds), for 4 - 5 minutes, until golden.
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup water or chicken stock (or half each) or whatever your rice calls for
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Cook rice according to package instructions stirring in the sesame oil, soy sauce and seeds when rice is almost done. Fluff and serve.
