Ingredients

• 1 cup basmati rice
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup snap peas
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 3

While the rice cooks, heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced carrot and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper slices, broccoli florets, and snap peas to the skillet. Continue to stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Pour soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables. Toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sliced green onions.

Step 9

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among serving plates.

Step 10

Top with the stir-fried vegetables and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
