Step 1:
How to make rice with vegetables in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use different varieties of rice. But the main thing is that it should be long-grain and steamed, then it will not boil and it will turn out crumbly. You can take any vegetables. Green peas and corn are suitable both frozen and canned. Frozen vegetables need to be thawed in advance, canned vegetables should be drained from the liquid.
Step 2:
Wash pre-peeled onions, cut into small cubes. You can take a white onion or a red one. You can choose any form of slicing vegetables, but it is desirable that it be the same, as well as the size of the slicing.
Step 3:
Peel carrots, wash, cut into small cubes.
Step 4:
Wash the bell pepper, peel off the seeds and stems. Cut the pepper into small cubes as well.
Step 5:
Rinse the rice in cold water several times until the water becomes clear. Drain the water.
Step 6:
Heat about half of the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Fry the prepared onions over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
Step 7:
Add carrots to the pan, stir. Fry the carrots and onions while stirring for 3 minutes.
Step 8:
Put the cubes of bell pepper and green peas, cook the vegetables over moderate heat for 3 minutes. If fresh frozen corn is used, then add it at this stage, after defrosting.
Step 9:
Put the canned corn last. Add spices and aromatic herbs, mix.
Step 10:
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan. Lay out the washed rice. While stirring, keep the rice and vegetables on the fire for a couple of minutes so that the rice absorbs the oil.
Step 11:
Pour rice with vegetables with warm water, salt. The water should completely cover them. I needed 350 ml of water.
Step 12:
Bring the water to a boil. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the rice over moderate heat for 12-15 minutes until the liquid boils completely. At this time, do not stir the rice.
Step 13:
When the water has completely evaporated, mix the rice and vegetables gently. Close the lid and heat over low heat for another 5 minutes.
Step 14:
Serve rice with vegetables as a side dish, or as an independent dish. Enjoy your meal!

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
