Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps keep the rice from sticking together.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrot, red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and frozen peas. Cook the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're just tender.

Step 6

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Pour the soy sauce over the rice and vegetable mixture, then gently mix to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Season the rice and vegetables with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve the rice with mixed vegetables warm, either as a main dish or as a side dish to your preferred protein.
