Cold Asian Brown Rice Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 cups brown rice (measured uncooked)
    1 large carrot, grated
    3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
    1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
    3 green onions, diced small
    Dressing
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    Cook the brown rice according to package. Or try it the way my friend says she makes it- boil it like pasta in a couple quarts of water and drain! I haven't tried this yet- let me know how it works.
    Meanwhile, prepare dressing and veggies.
    Toss rice with dressing and cool in fridge.
    Once cooled, add veggies and toss.
    If not serving right away, reserve peanuts until just before serving so they will not get soggy.
    Serve cold.
