Observations
This colourful rice is an excellent way to make use of leftover cooked rice and transform it into a unique one-dish meal. The combination of sautéed vegetables with the freshness of mango, apple and pineapple creates an irresistible sweet and savoury flavour that the whole family will enjoy. If you prefer a higher protein version, simply add sautéed prawns during the vegetable sautéing process.
