Add rice, red pepper and the cumin and stir together for 2 minutes. Add the cabbage and tomato and cook for 3 minutes more, or until the mixture is thickened. Add the water and salt, increase the heat to mediumhigh and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat a little so that the liquid is simmering actively.
