Rinse the brown rice and drain well.
Clean the mushrooms and slice them. Peel the carrot and cut it into fine julienne strips. Slice the spring onion into rings and finely chop the garlic.
Add the rice, mushrooms, carrot, spring onion, garlic, vegetable stock, soy sauce, oil and pepper to the rice cooker pot.
Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Select the Brown Rice programme or the specific programme for this type of rice.
Allow the rice cooker to cook all the ingredients for the full programme cycle.
Once the programme has finished, leave to rest for 5 minutes with the lid closed. Stir gently to combine the vegetables with the rice.
Serve immediately and finish with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
