Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup, chopped green beans
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 1 small, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrot, red bell pepper, and chopped green beans. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the frozen peas to the vegetable mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing them to thaw and heat through.
Pour in the soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Add it to the vegetable mixture and gently stir to combine everything evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with fresh chopped cilantro.
Serve the dairy-free rice with mixed vegetables hot, either as a standalone main dish or as a side to your favorite protein.
