Instructions

- Rinse the rice a few times in cold water then place in the skillet. Add half the spice mixture and the bouillon cube.
- Sauté for 2-5 minutes or until the spices all mix in with the rice and become wonderfully aromatic.
- Add 2 ½ cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once the water has begun to boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover, and allow to cook for half an hour or until the rice is soft.
- Wash any excess dirt off of the carrots before finely dicing them. Set aside.
- Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the stem and seeds before dicing. Set aside.
- Finely dice the garlic. Peel and dice the onion. Set aside.
- Go ahead and roughly chop the scallions and parsley. Set aside.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger powder, and bell peppers. Sauté for several minutes until the onions become transparent.
- Add the chopped carrots and sweetcorn. Mix briefly then add the other half of the spices and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the carrots have softened.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet full of vegetables and mix thoroughly to incorporate everything well. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped green onions and parsley. Stir until combined and then remove from heat.
