Step 1

Rinse the rice, or if you have time, soak for 20-30 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Add rice, water, salt, white ends of scallions, and sesame oil, to a medium pot, and mix and bring to a simmer.

Step 3

Cover tightly, lower heat to low, and cook at a gentle simmer until the rice soaks up all the water, about 45 minutes. Check at 35-40 minutes, continuing to cook until all the water is gone. (see notes for white rice).  Let stand 10 minutes covered.

Step 4

Toss the rice with a couple of teaspoons of rice vinegar, and place in a bowl. Sprinkle with the furikake seasoning and green ends of scallions.

Step 5

Rice will keep up to 4 days in the fridge. See notes on cold rice.
