1. Prepare the Ingredients: Dice the onion, mince the garlic, slice the carrots, and chop the celery.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Add Rice: Stir in the jasmine rice, allowing it to toast slightly for about 2 minutes in the pot.
