Meet Rainbow Rice. A delicious and healthy alternative to fried rice.

It’s filled with colorful ‘veggies’, is simple and straight-forward to prepare, and so yum.

I paired my rice with tomato-sesame chutney for that extra oomph. The chutney asks for 5 simple, everyday ingredients and is also incredibly easy to prepare.

A perfect lunch/dinner idea if you have leftover rice and lots of veggies in the fridge. 🙂

Let’s go!

To prepare rainbow rice

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 inch ginger (minced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
3 green chilies (minced)
2 cups common mushroom (sliced)
1/4 cup onion (chopped)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

Step A: Prepare chutney

In a blender, add all the chutney ingredients. Blend until 'creamy'. Transfer to a bowl and let it chill in the fridge.

Step B: Prepare rice

Set a thick-bottomed saute pan over medium heat. Add oil.
Once it's hot, add the minced ginger + garlic + chilies and stir-saute for 1 minute.
Add mushrooms and stir-saute for 4-5 minutes.
Next, add onion and stir-saute for 1 minute.
Now, add carrots + green peas + bell peppers + cabbage + salt + pepper. Mix well and stir-cook for 5-6 minutes, or until excess moisture is gone and they're lightly 'fried'.
Add leftover rice + soy sauce + vinegar. Mix well.
Turn up the heat to high and stir-cook for 4-5 minutes, or until excess moisture is gone.
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped green onion and give it a quick stir.
Rainbow rice is ready. Serve it hot alongside tomato-sesame chutney. 🙂
