Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup carrots, finely diced
• 0.5 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 0.5 cup snow peas, sliced
• 4 pieces green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the water and is tender.

Step 4

Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff it with a fork. Leave to cool.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the diced carrots and bell peppers, stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 7

Add the frozen peas and sliced snow peas to the skillet, stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 8

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, mixing everything together gently. Stir-fry for another 5 minutes.

Step 10

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the rice, and sprinkle with black pepper and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 11

Finish by adding the chopped green onions and give the rice one final stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 12

Serve hot as a main dish or as a side to your favorite Asian-inspired meal.
