Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, vegetable oil, garlic, vinegar, turmeric, and salt. Cover the pan and bring everything to a boil. Once it’s boiling, slowly stir in the rice. Put the lid back on, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer gently until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. When the rice is done, transfer it to a large bowl. Then, carefully fold in the peas and carrots so everything is evenly mixed. Enjoy!
