Method
Cooking Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 18 minutes until the rice has absorbed all the water.

Preparing Vegetables

Chop the Vegetables
While the rice is cooking, peel and finely chop 1 medium carrot and chop 0.5 medium bell pepper into small pieces.

Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped carrot and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Add Peas
Add 0.5 cups of peas to the skillet and continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Mix Everything Together
Once the rice is fluffed, add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in 1 tbsp of soy sauce and 0.25 tsp of pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
