Carnaroli Rice Salad with Cucumber and Toasted Sesame Seeds

Carnaroli, chef's choice for world-class risotto also makes a nice refreshing salad dressed with rice vinegar. This recipe was adapted from Marie Simmons The Amazing World of Rice.

* 2 cups uncooked carnaroli rice
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

* 1 cup seedless cucumber (cut into small diced pieces)
* 1/4 cup mined red onion (cut into small diced pieces)
* 1 tablespoon brown sesame seeds

Dressing:

* 1/2 cup unseasoned Japanese rice vinegar
* 3 tablespoons canola or other flavorless vegetable oil
* 1 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1. Combine the rice, 2 3/4 cups water, and the salt in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's directions. Or combine 2 3/4 cups water, rice and the salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

2. For the dressing: Whisk the rice vinegar, oil, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl until blended.

3. Combine the cooled rice, cucumber, red onion, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Add the dressing; toss gently until blended. Serve at room temperature.
