Mix in chopped tomatoes and green chili; cook until tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Add shredded cabbage; cook until wilted, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add rinsed rice to the pan; stir to mix with the cabbage and spices.

Remove from heat; let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
