Rinse and Cook the Rice
Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 1 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Preheat the oven according to package instructions for the frozen French fries. Spread 4 cups of frozen fries on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tbs of vegetable oil. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Prepare and Sauté the Vegetables
While the rice and fries are cooking, chop the bell peppers, onion, tomato, zucchini, and carrot into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the chopped vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until they are tender.
