Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 1 cup peas, frozen
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat, keeping it covered, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before using.

Step 5

While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the diced red bell pepper and chopped carrot to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Add the peas, soy sauce, ground black pepper, and salt to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Add the cooked rice to the skillet, mixing well with the vegetables.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
