2 cups brown rice
3 cups water
1/3 cup peanut oil
3 Tbs Chinese sesame oil
1/2 cup orange juice
1 to 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt

1/2 lb. fresh mung bean sprouts
1/2 cup (packed) raisins or currants
1 cup coarsly chopped peanuts and/or cashews, lightly toasted

Place rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower heat,

Add the hot rice directly to the bowlful of dressing. Mix well.
When it has cooled to room temperature, cover tightly and refrigerate
until cold.
Shortly before serving, stir in scallions, celery, bell pepper,
water chestnuts, bean sprouts, raisins, peanuts and sesame seeds.
Chill at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
