Rainbow Rice

Meet a delicious alternative to fried rice. This dish is filled with colorful ‘veggies’,  is simple and straight-forward to prepare, and is 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)

Instructions

Step A: Prepare chutney

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. 🙂
