This colorful rice is an excellent way to make use of leftover cooked rice and transform it into a unique, flavorful dish. The combination of sautéed vegetables with the freshness of mango, apple, and pineapple creates an irresistible sweet and savory balance that is sure to please the whole family. If you prefer a version with more protein, feel free to add sautéed shrimp during the vegetable sautéing process.
