Ingredients

• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 1 cup, chopped green beans
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 1 small, diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and chopped green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 6

Add the frozen peas to the vegetable mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing them to thaw and heat through.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Add it to the vegetable mixture and gently stir to combine everything evenly.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with fresh chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the dairy-free rice with mixed vegetables hot, either as a standalone main dish or as a side to your favorite protein.
