Vegetable Fried Rice

Cooking the Rice Wash the rice under cold water until the water is clear. In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and salt to the boiling water. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.

Preparing the Vegetables Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Push the carrots to the side of the skillet and add the chopped onions. Cook the onions until they are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Frying the Rice In the same skillet, push the vegetables to one side and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine with the vegetables. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through and slightly crispy.

Seasoning and Serving Season the vegetable fried rice with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy your delicious and wholesome vegetable fried rice!
