Ingredients
 

  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 2 Tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1-2 scallions sliced
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a saute pan over high heat. Add orzo and toast until some of the pasta has browned, 1-2 min.
  • Add chicken stock, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic. Bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally until liquid is mostly absorbed, 20-25 min.
  • Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil, scallions, and sesame seeds.
  • If you are making this ahead of time add more oil when heating so that the pasta does not dry out.
