how to make rice recipe with green peas

If you are tired of the plain white rice, try rice with green peas!  Rice with green peas is a very easy to make side dish recipe.  All you need to do to make rice with green peas is put some frozen green peas in the water when you are cooking your rice!

I always cook rice in a rice cooker, so I just throw a handful of frozen peas in the rice cooker bowl :)  The frozen peas will be thawed while rice is cooking, and you will get a very yummy rice with green peas.  When the rice finishes cooking, just stir and fluff it with a fork, so the peas are evenly distributed.
