A small amount of warm scallion oil turns plain rice into a useful side for stir-fried vegetables or eggs. Keep the oil warm rather than smoking so the scallions do not burn. ### Keep it simple Skip the small pan and fold raw scallions and sesame oil into the hot rice for a sharper, fresher version. ### Different rice varieties Do not apply a jasmine water level to short-grain rice. Use the directions for the grain actually in your pot. ### Pairing Serve with the bok choy recipe and tofu. Add sauce to the main dish rather than oversalting the rice. ## Questions before you cook ### Can I cook the green scallions with the rice? You can, but they lose their fresh flavor and color. Add them after cooking for a brighter finish. ## Leftovers & food safety Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers. Do not leave cooked food at room temperature for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F / 32°C. Reheat leftovers to 165°F / 74°C. Follow package instructions and use a thermometer where appropriate.
