Directions

Prep 25 minCook 45 min
  1. 1

    Heat half of the olive oil over medium heat in a 3-quart heavy saucepan. Cook the white parts of the scallions and mustard seeds, stirring frequently, until the scallions are softened, about 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the rice to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add water (amount as indicated on the rice package directions), salt, and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat, covered, until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff rice with a fork, and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the rice is standing, heat the remaining olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the minced jalapeño and scallion greens, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the snap peas and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Toss vegetables with the rice, season with salt to taste, and serve.
