Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.

Add diced onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in bell pepper, carrot, and mixed vegetables; cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to combine with the vegetables.

Pour in coconut milk and enough water to cover the rice by about an inch.

Season with thyme, bay leaves, black pepper, and salt; stir well.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.

Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in chopped scallions before serving.
