Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic. When they are translucent, add the rice. Stir carefully with a wooden spatula to avoid breaking the rice grains and to prevent sticking. Cook until semi-golden. Add the chicken broth, salt, carrot, bell pepper, peas, corn kernels, and cilantro, then stir with a spoon to combine all the ingredients. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until the water evaporates and the rice is cooked. Remove from heat. Serve the spring rice on a wide plate and garnish with cilantro leaves.
