Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 cup chopped carrots

  • 1 cup potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1 cup water

  • ½ cup uncooked long grain rice

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a skillet, cook beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until the met is no longer pink; drain. Add the carrots, potatoes, water and rice; mix well. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice and vegetables are tender. Just before serving, stir in soy sauce, salt and pepper.

Tips

Long grain rice has a length 4 to 5 times that of its width. When cooked, it produces light dry grains that separate easily.
