Cook rice.
Meanwhile, fry the halved plantain and red bell pepper strips in the canola oil and Earth Balance on medium heat. Cook the plantains for about 5 minutes, until almost cooked through (some blackening okay); place on towel to absorb oil, and then cut in chunks. Fry the red bell pepper strips until soft and starting to blacken, perhaps a couple minutes more than the plantains.
Separately, in olive oil, saute the onion and garlic. After a couple minutes, add the chili sauce and oregano, and saute a few more minutes. Next add the plantain chunks and corn, and saute again for a few minutes. Then add the cooked rice, and stir, adding more chili sauce if you like. Add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat and then stir in vinegar, lime, cilantro.
Serve rice topped with the blackened red bell pepper strips.
