A flavorful twist on a classic baked rice dish, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice, soy sauce, water, diced carrot, and frozen peas.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the soy sauce is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and cover it with aluminum foil.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Check halfway through to ensure the rice is cooking evenly.
Remove from the oven, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor.
