Rice Base

Vegetables (optional but recommended)

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Begin by rinsing the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    If using, dice the carrots and bell pepper, and set the frozen peas aside. This will ensure that all vegetables are ready to be added to the rice.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, turmeric powder, salt, olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Bring to Boil

    Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables

    After 15 minutes, carefully remove the lid and add the frozen peas, diced carrots, and bell pepper. Stir gently to incorporate.

  4. 6

    Finish Cooking

    Replace the lid and allow the rice and vegetables to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat.

  5. 7

    Fluff and Serve

    Using a fork, fluff the rice to separate the grains. Transfer the yellow rice to a large serving dish and serve warm.
