Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Begin by washing the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the carrot into small cubes. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and chop it into small pieces. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the washed basmati rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 5

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add the diced carrot, chopped bell pepper, and green peas to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

  4. 6

    Combine Rice and Vegetables

    Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
