SESAME LIME SCALLION RICE

Steps:

• In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it begins to crackle, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, lime zest, 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper; bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. The trick to perfect is rice is not to lift the lid or stir during this stage. Leave it alone until all the liquid is absorbed.
• Remove from the heat and using a fork, fluff the scallion greens, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the lime juice into the rice. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

SCALLION RICE

Steps:

• Place a medium-size pot with a lid over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons of oil.
• Add the rice to the pan and cook it for a minute, then add the chicken stock.
• Bring the liquids up to a bubble, then put the lid on the pot, reduce the heat and cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, 40-45 minutes (18-20 minutes for white rice).
• Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and stir in scallions.
• Alternately you can cook this in your rice cooker, according to cooking directions. I have to presoak brown rice. Just skip the browning, oil is optional, and add scallions at the end. Fluff and serve.
