Add the rice and water to a pot, heat until boiling, add salt, lower the temperature and cover. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until the water has almost completely evaporated. Remove from heat and cool the rice. While the rice cools, prepare the vinaigrette. Mix the vinegar, lemon juice, grated ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Then add the olive oil in a thin stream while whisking, to form an emulsion. Set aside. Once the rice is cold, add the green beans, carrot, yellow corn kernels, blueberries, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, pour just a few tablespoons of the vinaigrette to taste. Mix carefully. Serve the salad in a bowl and accompany with caramelized sesame.
