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.

- Pour reserved sauce and 1/2 cup hot water into skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, just until sauce starts to bubble and is smooth, about 1 minute. Pour over noodles in bowl and toss to coat, adding more hot water if needed to loosen sauce.

CHICKEN AND RICE WITH SCALLION-GINGER SAUCE
Chicken and rice is a favorite combination around the world. This version, an Asian-inspired one-pot meal, coaxes a lot of flavor out of a limited ingredient list. Rinsing rice until the water runs clear helps remove extra starch on the outside of the grains and will make rice less gummy when cooked. The most essential step when cooking rice on the stovetop is to resist the urge to peek under the lid; the telltale sign that the rice is done is when the steam rising from under the lid has subsided. (In the early stages of cooking rice, there may be visible steam escaping the saucepan, but as the moisture is absorbed by the rice, you may notice less steam.)

Steps:
- Place rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water, shaking gently, until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, broth and 1 tablespoon grated ginger. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper and place on top of rice mixture. Cover and bring mixture to a boil over high. Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is plump, broth is absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 20 to 22 minutes. Turn off heat and let rest, covered, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the vegetable oil, scallions, vinegar, jalapeño, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar and remaining ginger; season with salt and pepper.
- Remove chicken from saucepan and slice 1/2-inch thick crosswise. Fluff rice with a fork and divide among bowls. Top with chicken and scallion-ginger sauce.
Tips:
- Use day-old rice. This will help the rice grains stay separate and fluffy when cooked.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Toast the sesame seeds before adding them to the rice. This will bring out their nutty flavor.
- Use a light hand when adding the sesame oil. A little goes a long way, and you don't want to overpower the other flavors in the dish.
- Serve the rice immediately. This is when it is at its best, with the sesame seeds still crispy and the rice still fluffy.
Conclusion:
Sesame rice with scallions is a simple but flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your rice mild or spicy, with extra vegetables or not, this recipe is a great starting point. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give sesame rice with scallions a try.
