Directions

  1. Combine water, brown rice, and salt in a pressure cooker. Close and secure the lid, bring to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook for 10 minutes. Release pressure naturally according to manufacturer's instructions. Drain any remaining water and transfer rice to a large bowl.

  2. Whisk lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, Thai basil, and chile pepper in a small bowl to make dressing.

  3. Toast sesame seeds in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  4. Cook and stir snow peas in the same skillet until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  5. Arrange snow peas, chickpeas, tofu, baby corn, carrots, and green bell pepper over the brown rice. Drizzle dressing over the entire bowl, toss to mix. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Garnish with green onions and cilantro.
