When the weather starts turning cooler, I start to hear requests for this dish. The light soy, onion and garlic flavors blend nicely with fresh carrots and potatoes in this budget-minded recipe. —Pat Jensen, Cottonwood, Minnesota
In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; crumble beef; drain. Stir in the carrots, potatoes, water and rice.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice and vegetables are tender. Just before serving, stir in the soy sauce, salt and pepper.
