Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the rice and water into a saucepan with a pinch of salt. Place over a medium heat, bring to a simmer and cook for 30-35 minutes, until the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and let it steam in the residual heat for 10 minutes, until tender and fluffy. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

3

While the rice is steaming make the dressing by placing all ingredients into a bowl and stirring to combine. You may need to add extra water depending on the thickness of your tahini.

4

Arrange the rice and all other components in bowls. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
