Jasmine Rice Timbales with Black and White Sesame Seeds image

Look for the black sesame seeds in the Asian foods section of a specialty market; they add a dramatic touch to this simple side dish. If you can't find them, just use all white seeds instead.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups jasmine rice or long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
3 teaspoons oriental sesame oil
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine rice, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 2 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender, stirring once, about 15 minutes.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, chives and sesame seeds to rice. Fluff with fork. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff rice again. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Brush six 3/4-cup soufflĂ© dishes or custard cups with remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Divide rice among dishes. Pack rice tightly into dishes. Turn timbales out onto plates and serve.
