  • Julienne the carrots thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use fresh or frozen peas: If using frozen peas, thaw them before adding them to the rice.
  • Add the carrots and peas to the rice towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season the rice to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the rice hot or cold: This dish is delicious served hot or cold, making it a great option for meal prep.
