Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a medium saucepan under cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then add 2 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to the lowest heat setting, cover tightly, and cook for 18 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, combine the rinsed lentils and 2 cups water in a separate medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 20–25 minutes until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape. Drain any excess water, then stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
