California Brown Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the rice

   Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Sauté the vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced carrot and bell pepper, and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine everything

   Add the cooked brown rice and frozen peas to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

4. 4

   Garnish and serve

   Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Serve warm as a side dish or main course.
