- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks, chopped Green onions

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain well.

Add the rinsed rice to the rice cooker bowl, then pour in the vegetable broth.
Step 3
Layer the diced carrot, diced bell pepper, and frozen peas on top of the rice. Do not mix yet.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the rice cooker.
Step 5
Close the rice cooker lid and set it to the 'white rice' setting or equivalent, depending on your rice cooker model.
Step 6
Once the rice cooker finishes cooking, let the rice sit in 'keep warm' mode for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Open the lid and fluff the rice gently with a rice paddle or fork, mixing the vegetables evenly throughout.
Step 8
Transfer the rice to serving bowls, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve warm.
