Ingredients

The Rice

  • 1 ½ cups/375mL Dainty Kimora Rice
  • 1 ½ tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds, Black Sesame Seeds, or a mixture of both

Sesame Cucumber Salad

  • 2-3 Lebanese Cucumbers
  • ½ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 3 tbsp unseasoned Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds

  • Optional: Leftover Teriyaki Chicken or Salmon

Preparation

1

Place the rice in the bowl of a rice cooker and wash in cold water 3-4 times, or until the water runs mostly clear. Cover in 2 cups cold water. Cook.

2

Meanwhile, slice the cucumbers thin and place in a bowl with ½ tsp Kosher salt. Mix to combine and let rest for 5-10 minutes to draw out a bit of moisture. Drain in a colander and gently press any excess moisture out. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine and set aside.

3

When the rice is done cooking, stir in the sesame oil.

4

Place the rice in the biggest bento box compartment and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Place the cucumber salad in a smaller container and sprinkle some sesame seeds over top. Place the leftover chicken or salmon in the remaining compartment.
