1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
2
Chop Vegetables
Chop mixed vegetables into small, even pieces for uniform cooking. If using fresh vegetables, ensure they are washed thoroughly.

3
Sauté Garlic
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
4
Cook Rice
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat with the garlic oil. Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
5
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6
Add Vegetables
Stir in the chopped mixed vegetables, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
7
Finish with Soy Sauce
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
