“Because bland rice is so last season.”

---

🍚 Ingredients (Serves 4 or 2 if you’re emotionally attached to rice)
🥄 The Base:
• 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice (aromatic and dramatic)
• 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth (because flavor matters)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• ½ tsp turmeric (for golden glow-up)
• Salt to taste
🌈 Colorful Corn Add-ins:(any color corn of your choice)
• 1½ cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, just drain ‘em!)
• ½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
• ½ green bell pepper, finely chopped
• ¼ red onion, finely diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Juice of ½ lime
• Handful of chopped cilantro or parsley
• Optional: a pinch of chili flakes for a little spice in your life
Joke break:
Why did the rice break up with plain water?
Because broth really brought the flavor! 😂

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the rice:
   In a medium pot, heat olive oil or butter. Add the rice and toast it for 1–2 minutes (it brings out nuttiness, like your favorite uncle). Add turmeric, broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until cooked and fluffy (about 15–18 minutes). Let it rest, lid on, for 5 minutes to reach rice nirvana.
2. Sauté the veggies:
   In a separate skillet, add a drizzle of oil. Toss in red onion, garlic, and bell peppers. Cook for 3–5 minutes until soft and sassy. Add the corn and a dash of salt. Heat until warm and vibrant. Stir in lime juice and herbs.
3. Fluff and mix:
   Fluff the rice with a fork like it’s about to walk a red carpet. Then gently stir in your colorful corn mix. Garnish with extra herbs if you’re feelin’ fancy.
4. Serve hot, with a side of sass and maybe a protein if you’re making it a meal.

🌟 Final Punchline:
Why don’t rice and corn ever gossip?
Because they don’t like to stir the pot… unless it’s flavorful. 😉
