Cooking Instructions

1. Rinse the Rice

Rinse the forbidden rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

2. Cook the Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the Vegetables

While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

4. Combine and Season

Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce and mix well to combine all ingredients.

5. Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top before serving. Enjoy your Forbidden Rice hot!
