    Ingredients

    • 1 cup long-grain white rice
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
    • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

    Directions

    1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add rice, season with salt and pepper, and return to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook just until tender, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
    2. Toss rice with sesame seeds, oil, and lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper, and fluff gently with a fork.

    Variations

    For a variation on this dish, replace vegetable oil and lime zest and juice with same amounts of extra-virgin olive oil and lemon zest and juice; use 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts instead of sesame seeds.

      Served with the teriyaki chicken from same issue, perfect together. This will also be good with Thai and Vietnamese food. Highly recommend.
