ORIENTAL RICE PILAF
This is not fried rice, but rather a spin on it. Goes well as a side with many dishes. Don't skip toasting the sesame seeds. It's fun to watch them pop, too.

- Stir green onions, red pepper and sesame seeds into cooked rice; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your rice pilaf. Look for long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, and fresh vegetables.
- Toast the rice before cooking: This will help to give it a nutty flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
- Use a flavorful broth: Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water can be used to cook rice pilaf. However, using a flavorful broth will add more depth of flavor to the dish.
- Add vegetables and other ingredients: Rice pilaf is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can also add nuts, dried fruits, or herbs to the dish.
- Cook the rice pilaf until it is tender: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice pilaf will be mushy.

Oriental rice pilaf is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its fragrant aroma and flavorful ingredients, oriental rice pilaf is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
