Cold Rice with Stir-Fried Vegetables is a very pleasant summer dish that is easy to prepare. There is no traditional recipe, everyone makes it with their preferred ingredients. Ready-made jars are available for preparing rice salad, but if you have time, you can use cooked ham, cheeses, olives, corn, tuna, and many other ingredients. In this recipe, I stir-fried zucchini, bell peppers, and peas.
