Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage and grated carrot to the pot. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then add it to the pot.
Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, then add the ground turmeric, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a main dish or a side. Enjoy your Vegan Cabbage Rice!
