Jersey Vegetable Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Rice

   Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Vegetables

   In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add the carrots, peas, and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

3. 3

   Combine Rice and Vegetables

   Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add it to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

4. 4

   Fry the Eggs

   In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil and fry the eggs to your liking (sunny side up, scrambled, etc.).

5. 5

   Serve

   Spoon the vegetable rice onto plates and top each serving with a fried egg.
