Rice with frozen vegetables

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make rice with frozen vegetables in a frying pan? Prepare your ingredients. You can take any vegetables you like; ready-made mixtures are also suitable for cooking - Mexican, Italian and others. I took broccoli, green peas, carrots, bell peppers and green beans. You will also need broth - it can be meat, vegetable, cube broth or just hot water. It is preferable to take steamed rice; I use long grain rice.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat the pan over high heat. Read about how to choose the ideal frying pan, as well as how to choose the right vegetable oil in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe. Peel the onions and chop finely. You can also use garlic instead of onions. Fry the chopped onion in hot oil for a few minutes until translucent.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the frozen vegetables in a frying pan with the onions and fry them over medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally. If the frozen vegetables are too large, then it is better to cut them smaller before frying, without defrosting them.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add rice, salt, pepper to the vegetables in the pan (you can also add your favorite spices) and continue to fry the rice and vegetables for about 2 minutes, stirring. By frying, the rice will remain soft but fluffy after cooking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour broth or hot water into the rice with vegetables, stir and cover the pan with a lid. Cook the rice with vegetables, covered, over low heat for 15 - 20 minutes, until the rice is cooked. The exact time depends on the selected frying pan and the operating characteristics of your stove.

6. STEP 6

   

   Serve the finished rice with frozen vegetables hot. This dish can act as an independent dish, or it can become a side dish for meat, chicken or semi-finished products. Bon appetit!

Today I cooked rice with frozen vegetables using this recipe. The only thing is that I had very small frozen vegetables and I didn’t dare to fry and then stew with rice, because I thought that everything would turn into porridge. I had to cook the rice separately until half cooked (I just added 1 cup of broth to 1 cup of rice). After everything was done according to the recipe, I added rice and the remaining broth to the vegetables fried in a frying pan with onions, garlic and seasonings, for another 10 minutes. under the lid and you're done.
