The base is cooked white rice mixed with a colorful assortment of diced carrots, green peas, aromatic garlic, and onions, all seasoned to perfection. It provides a well-balanced meal with a modest calorie count and a good mix of macronutrients.

Prepare Ingredients

Start by preparing all your ingredients. Cook the white rice as per package instructions and let it cool. Dice the carrots and onion, and mince the garlic. Measure out the green peas to have everything ready.

Cook the Vegetables

In a large pan, instead of using vegetable oil for frying, add a little water or vegetable broth for a healthier cooking option. Add the garlic and onions first and cook until they're soft. Then, add the carrots and green peas. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still a bit crisp.

Combine with Rice

Add the cooked rice to the pan with the vegetables. Stir everything together gently. You can add a bit of salt to taste. Since we're avoiding frying, ensure you stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan, adding water or broth as necessary.

Serve

Once everything is heated through and well-combined, your Vegetable 'Fried' Rice is ready to be served. You can garnish with some fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor.
