Cooking Instructions

Prep the Ingredients

Chop the green beans, onion, and green chilies. Rinse and pat dry the basil leaves.

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the chopped onion and green chilies to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Green Beans

Stir in the chopped green beans and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender.

Fry the Rice

Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine. Press the rice down and let it fry for about 2 minutes.

Season the Rice

Pour the soy sauce over the rice and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Add Basil

Finally, add the fresh basil leaves to the fried rice. Stir gently to mix them in without breaking them up too much.

Serve

Remove from heat and serve hot.
