Cook rice (or alternatively quinoa) according to package directions to yield 5 cups (975 grams) cooked. Prep vegetables. Dice bell pepper (or 2 carrots if preferred). You should have about 1 cup (150 grams) of diced bell pepper. Slice green onions (or chives as an alternative). If using chives, reserve use for end of cooking rather than the next step. Dice celery. Chop potatoes and cook according to preference (e.g., roast, steam). You should have about 1 cup (122 grams) of cooked potato.
In a large nonstick skillet over high or medium-high heat, combine the bell pepper, fresh or frozen corn (or alternatively green peas), green onions, and celery, stirring occasionally.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, and then add the rice, potatoes, and 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) of the tamari.
Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if the mixture is sticking.
Heat the rice through and toast it a little, if desired. If using chives, add those and stir. Taste, add the remaining tamari, and season with salt and black pepper, if desired.
