Steps:
- 1. Put the rice in a large pot along with a big pinch of salt. Add enough water to cover by about 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently.
- 2. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding more boiling water if the rice begins to stick to the bottom, until the grains are very tender and burst, about an hour.
- 3. Meanwhile, put the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until dry, lightly browned, and almost crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. When the rice is starchy and very thick, stir in the mushrooms, transfer to a bowl, and let cool in the fridge, at least 45 minutes and up to 24 hours.
- 4. When you are ready to bake the rice balls, heat the oven to 375°F and grease two large baking sheets. Pour the sesame seeds into a shallow bowl. Roll the rice mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, dip each ball into the sesame seeds to coat it completely, and put the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake the rice balls, turning them as needed, until crisp and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately, passing soy sauce at the table.

Steps:
- In a 3- to 4-quart saucepan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the scallion whites, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring often, until it begins to crackle, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, lime zest, 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper; bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. The trick to perfect is rice is not to lift the lid or stir during this stage. Leave it alone until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and using a fork, fluff the scallion greens, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the lime juice into the rice. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

FRIED RICE WITH GINGER, HOISIN, AND SESAME
A twist on the average fried rice - a culmination of some of my favorite Asian flavors thrown into a common dish. This recipe is very easy to adjust according to personal tastes; you can make it about as strong or as mild as you prefer. Compliments Teriyaki beef well, or can be easily modified into a stir-fry meal.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the uncooked rice, and cook until toasted, stirring occasionally. Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender.
- While the rice is cooking, mix together the hoisin sauce, barbeque sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
- When the rice is done cooking, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. When it begins to smoke, add the onion and fry until clear. Add the carrot, and cook for about 1 minute, then add the rice, and stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and peas; cook and stir for about 1 minute. Push everything to the sides of the wok, and crack the eggs into the center. Scramble until cooked through, trying to keep the raw egg from mixing with everything else. When the eggs are cooked, stir them in with the rice.
- Turn off the heat, and stir in about half of the sauce, tasting and adding more as desired. You may not need all of the sauce, but if you serve this with a meat it makes a good sauce for that too. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Tips:
- Choose good quality rice: Japanese rice, such as Koshihikari or Nishiki, is best for making sesame rice. It has a slightly sticky texture that helps the sesame seeds adhere. If you can't find Japanese rice, you can use short-grain white rice.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly: Rinsing the rice removes the starch, which helps to prevent the rice from becoming sticky. Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear.
- Cook the rice according to the package directions: Different types of rice have different cooking times. Be sure to follow the directions on the package of rice you are using.
- Make the sesame dressing while the rice is cooking: This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the sesame dressing to the rice while it is still hot: This will help the dressing to evenly coat the rice.
- Serve the sesame rice warm or at room temperature: Sesame rice can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is also a popular ingredient in sushi and other Japanese dishes.
Conclusion:
Sesame rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a popular side dish in Japanese cuisine, but it can also be used as a main course or an ingredient in other dishes. The key to making good sesame rice is to use good quality rice and to rinse it thoroughly before cooking. The sesame dressing is also important, and it should be made with high-quality sesame seeds. With a little effort, you can easily make delicious sesame rice at home.
