Observations
This colorful rice is an excellent way to make use of leftover cooked rice by turning it into a unique main dish. The combination of sautéed vegetables with the fresh notes of mango, apple, and pineapple creates an irresistible sweet and savory flavor that the whole family will love. If you prefer a more protein-packed version, add sautéed shrimp during the sautéing step.
