This aromatic brown rice dish is a personal favourite, prepared with short grain rice and a touch of toasted sesame oil. The method involves coating the rice in oil before simmering it until perfectly tender. It is then finished with fresh scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and a savoury splash of soy sauce for a deeply satisfying side that serves six.
