Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender jar. Pulse several times until cilantro is finely chopped and dressing looks emulsified, scraping the sides of the blender jar several times to keep ingredients near the blades.

2. Combine hot rice and dressing in a medium bowl and toss gently until rice is evenly coated.
