Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.

Cook until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 30-40 minutes.

In a separate bowl, hydrate seaweed in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.

Chop green onions, carrots, and cucumber into small pieces.

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and mirin to create a dressing.

Combine cooked rice with chopped vegetables and seaweed in a large bowl.

Drizzle the dressing over the rice mixture and toss gently to combine.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds before serving.
