Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the white rice under running water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables. Wash the broccoli florets and peel the carrots. Slice the carrots into thin rounds.
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Season the vegetables with salt and black pepper. Stir in soy sauce if desired for added flavor.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it onto serving plates.
Top the rice with the sautéed broccoli and carrots. Serve warm and enjoy!
