Soak the rice in warm water for 10 minutes, wash, and drain thoroughly. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the rice until it changes color, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Blend the tomato with the onion, garlic, and chicken broth, strain; add the peas and carrot to the rice. Season, lower the heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest covered until ready to serve.
