is olive oil a good substitute for vegitable oil?

For this application its fine. Its generally okay to substitute olive oil for vegetable oil. However, be cautious substituting vegetable for olive oil, the smoking points of these oils differ. Vegetable oil can generally be cooked at higher temperatures than Extra light olive oil, and extra light olive oil at higher temperatures than extra virgin. For a rice dish, its just a matter of taste.

It's perfect for almost everything, except desserts or any food where a light flavored oil is required. In that case use canola oil. you can also combine canola and olive oil for some recipes.

Note; keep all cooking oils in the fridge, as oils go rancid and develop a bitter taste when that happens.

Olive Oil is vegetable oil. It's higher in "Good" fats. But it smokes at a lower temperature than most other oils and also imparts it's own flavor. You can probably use it ... but it depends. Try it and see? What's the worst that can happen...a little smoke.
