Ingredients

  • 1 cup Short-grain white rice (soaked for 30 mins)
  • 6 cups Water or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted sesame oil
  • 0.5 cup Carrot, finely minced

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.

    Add the minced carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms, stirring for another 2 minutes.

    Pour in the water or broth and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

  6. 6
