2 tsp. sesame oil
1 bunch scallions finely chopped
2 tbsp. sesame seeds (I forgot these ☹)


1 In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium high heat. Add the rice’ toast, stirring for a min. or two. Add 1 ½ c. broth, lower the heat, cover and simmer until tender about 17 mins.

2 In a med. Skillet bring enough water to reach depth of 1 inch to a boil, salt it add the green beans and cook for 2 mins; drain and rinse with cold water.
