Directions
In a heavy casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat.
Add the rice and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the rice begins to darken; stir often.
Stir in the vegetable stock, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer until the liquid is absorbed; about 1 hour.
When the rice is cooked, toss it while still warm with ¼ cup french dressing.
Let rice mixture cool.
Add the water chestnuts, red pepper, onion, mushrooms and desired seasonings to the rice, then add another ¼ cup of dressing and toss.
Chill 1 hour. Meanwhile, cover the snow peas with boiling water.
Let them stand 1 minute, then drain.
Rinse with cold water and pat dry.
Cut the snow peas into 1" pieces and toss them with ¼ cup dressing with rice mixture.
