**For best results cook your long grain rice up the day before and have it cold in the refrigerator.
**I also switched out the veggies for what I had on hand, so I used asparagus and broccoli in place of the scallions and zucchini)

1 Onion, rough chop
3 carrots, cut on a slight angle, 1/2 inch thick
1 zucchini, coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons grated ginger

3 cups of rice
3 TBS Soy Sauce
2 TBS dry white wine
1 TBS toasted sesame oil
