Use 1 small courgette, cut into strips or small chunks, instead of carrot if you prefer.
You can swap the corn kernels for sliced baby corn, or add a beaten egg when you add the rice.

According to advice given by the Food Standards Agency leftover rice can be re-heated as long as it is cooled down quickly, re-heated thoroughly and consumed within 24 hours.
