Cooking rice garnish with vegetables:

Step 1: prepare rice.

First rinse the rice thoroughly with running water. It is necessary to wash the grits until the liquid draining from it becomes a transparent color. And in order not to lose any rice during the washing, first pour the whole cereal into a colander or a sieve, and then just put it all under the tap.
Put the washed rice in the pan, pour 2 glasses waterbring to a boil. Then pour a little less 1 tablespoon   vegetable oil. Leave the rice to cook until half cooked, that is, it must remain firm inside. Do not forget during the whole process of cooking to mix grits every 5-7 minutes.
After cooking, fold the rice into a colander, drench cold water   and allow excess fluid to drain.

Step 2: prepare the vegetables.




While cooking rice, prepare the vegetables.
Zucchini must be thoroughly washed, dried and cut into cubes of small size. If you are using a ripe vegetable, be sure to peel it off and remove the seeds from the core.
Peel the Bulgarian pepper, remove the stalk and wash, and then cut it into cubes. For beauty, you can take halves of peppers of different colors, for example, from yellow and red.
Peel the carrots, rinse and, just like the previous vegetables, cut into cubes.
Peel the onion, cut off all excess, rinse with cool water, and then cut it in the same way into cubes.
The best option is to contrive to crumble the vegetables so that all the pieces are the same shape and size.

Step 3: Stew vegetables.




Heat the oil in a pan and pour all the vegetables into it. On very high heat, fry them, stirring all the time, until soft. We should have small pieces, so it will not take long to fry.



You also need to be careful and do not let the vegetables burn and not crush pieces of zucchini or bell peppers, stirring.

Step 4: Stew vegetables with rice.




To half-cooked, soft vegetables, sprinkle rice, add salt, sugar, ground chilli, ginger and garlic. Make the fire smaller and keep cooking everything. 10 minutesstirring all the time. The readiness of the dish is easy to determine by rice, when it becomes soft, then you can remove it from the heat and serve it to the table.

And it looks so beautiful and colorful that it is suitable not only for a modest family dinner, but also for a magnificent celebration, especially if you serve it with tender fish fillets in sour cream or cream, or with fried chicken leg.

Additionally, you can add canned to the ready-made rice with vegetables. green pea   and corn.

It is best to use steamed rice for cooking.

Ideal for cooking this dish is suitable wok, but the usual frying pan with a thick bottom copes well.

Fig. It would seem, well, what's wrong with that - cook rice. There is really nothing complicated, just to cook crumbly, you need to know a few tricks and rules.

First, the rice must be washed. This is also for purity purposes, and the starch that is formed on the surface of the grains during processing is washed off. Personally, I wash several times, until clear water.

Next, the ratio of rice-water. Basically, they take, for example, a glass of rice with two glasses of water. But I noticed that this is not always a universal relationship. More often water requires 20 percent more or less. It depends on the variety of rice. I mainly use Basmati rice, here I need a little less water than 1 to 2. It has been observed empirically.

I always fill with cold water, bring it to a boil under the lid, then reduce the fire and cook until ready, 15-20 minutes. Cooking time depends on the type of rice.

Salt is not salt at all. After the rice is cooked (the water is completely evaporated), leave it to stand for another 10-15 minutes, and only then add a couple of pinches of salt, a piece of butter, mix and serve. In the process of cooking the rice is in no way mixed.

Since today I make rice with vegetables, there will be no butter, and I will add rice directly to the pan, where I will add it, mixed with vegetables.

So, I have half a cup of rice (weighed and got 120 grams) and, accordingly, a whole cup of water. Wash rice and boil until tender.


Well, in the meantime, rice is cooked quite yourself you can prepare vegetables.

Peel and chop with a knife or press garlic through a press.

We clean carrots and onions. And we cut the one and the other into a small cube.

Put the pan on the fire, heat, add butter and a spoonful of vegetable. Throw in the first chopped garlic, and then, after 30 seconds, chopped onions and carrots. Fry everything on medium heat for about three minutes.




Broccoli rinse under the stream cold water. Cut the inflorescences, leaving no particularly long stems. By the way, it is in the latter that all kinds of nitrates are especially fond of accumulating. Inflorescences should be small and comfortable to eat.

Zucchini wash and cut into cubes. Most often, or rather, I did not see others, zucchini sold small in size, with delicate skin and almost imperceptible seeds. So, except to wash, no fussing with them.

Add broccoli, zucchini and a spoonful of vegetable oil to the vegetables in a frying pan. Fry over medium heat for a couple of minutes, close the pan with a lid, reduce the heat and simmer for another two or three minutes.




Open jar canned corn, drain the water and add to the pan to the vegetables. If suddenly you have a fresh ear, then simply cut the grain with a sharp knife. For corn, you need a minimum of time, therefore, it is mixed with vegetables and just warm up for about a minute.




Remained our rice and seasonings. Add to the pan to the vegetables our cooked rice, salt, pepper and mix everything well. We close the pan with a lid, we heat up and heat on low heat for two or three minutes. After that, try and, if necessary, adjust the taste. Personally, I don’t need additional seasoning for rice, but you can adjust the taste for yourself and add any aromatic herbs if you wish.




Well, that's it, rice with vegetables is ready. It remains only to immediately submit it. Although, this is the side dish, which can be cooked in advance and after only warm up. If you want more juiciness, then increase the amount of zucchini - it is this vegetable that gives maximum freshness and juiciness.

Of course, vegetables can be changed at will and availability. Cauliflowermulticolored bell pepper, green peas - all this is very appropriate here, so there is plenty of room for imagination and possibilities.

It is quite possible to turn this very rice into Asian in the blink of an eye. To do this, I would remove broccoli and corn, and add fried chinese cabbage   and, of course, sauces. Well, soy - this is undoubtedly and, if available, oyster - I love him very much. Upon request, there is a very hot chili pepper in the topic. Here I have already shown a similar Asian version.

Enjoy your meal and have a good, happy holidays!
