1

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir the carrots, celery, red bell pepper, onion, and garlic until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
2

Gently stir the rice, corn, and peas into the vegetables to combine. Pour the chicken broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the rice mixture. Season with lemon pepper, parsley, thyme, saffron, salt, and black pepper, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
3

Remove from the heat and let the pilaf stand, covered, until the grains are separate, 10 to 15 more minutes.
