Instructions:

1. To prepare the rice: In a pot, combine the rice, 3 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer until the rice is tender, approximately 20 minutes. Transfer the cooked rice onto a sheet tray and allow it to cool down. After that, mix the rice with peas, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion. Gently toss the ingredients together.
2. To make the dressing: Take a small bowl and whisk together rice wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a few twists of freshly ground pepper. Gradually pour in the vegetable oil followed by the sesame oil while mixing continuously.
3. Drizzle the dressing over the rice mixture and ensure the rice is evenly coated. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed.
