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

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the rinsed rice; cook until lightly toasted, about 2-3 minutes.

Add water and salt; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in diced carrot and peas.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
