Observations
This colourful rice is an excellent way to turn leftover cooked rice into a unique and satisfying main dish. The combination of sautéed vegetables with the freshness of mango, apple and pineapple creates an irresistible sweet-and-savory flavor profile that the whole family will enjoy. If you prefer a protein-rich version, simply add sautéed shrimp while cooking the vegetable base.
