Steps

  1. Toast rice in a pan over low heat until golden brown; grind finely in a mortar for a rich, nutty aroma.

  2. Zest the lime and squeeze out the juice using a citrus juicer.

  3. Finely chop the onion, scallion, and cilantro; use only the white part of the scallion and include the stems of the cilantro.

  4. Combine all prepared ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well - the sauce is ready.
