RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml [600ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 15-20 minutes. Remove from the pot and spread on a plate. Fluff with a fork and cover.
TOAST
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
