In a large nonstick skillet over high or medium-high heat, combine the bell peppers or carrots, corn or green peas, green onions and celery, stirring occasionally.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the rice, potatoes (if using), and 1/4 cup of the tamari.
Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Add the water if the mixture is sticking.
Heat the rice through, and toast it a little in spot, if desired. If using chives, add those and stir. Taste, add the remaining tamari, and season with salt and black pepper, if desired.
