To rinse your rice thoroughly, place it in a fine-mesh sieve and run cold water over it. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear instead of cloudy.
Begin by drizzling olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onions and carrots until onions are translucent and carrots are tender.
Once onions and carrots are ready, introduce the rice to the pan. Mix to blend the flavors.
Add peas to the mix, along with salt and garlic powder for enhanced taste.
Add hot water to infuse flavors and cook the rice.
Cover the pan with a lid to trap in the steam and allow the rice to cook gently. After a while, check to make sure the water has evaporated from the top. Once you can no longer see water on top of your rice, Reduce the heat to low to ensure a slow and even cooking process that results in fluffy grains.
Once the water has disappeared from the bottom of the pan, turn off the heat. You can use a fork to gently fluff the rice and check its texture. Keep the lid on the pan and let the residual heat finish off the cooking process. This gentle final step ensures that the rice reaches its perfect texture.
