Ingredients
- 0.75 cup white rice
- 0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 yellow onion (small, diced)
- 0.25 red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup vegetable broth
- 0.5 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the white rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic, rinsed canned black beans, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
- Create a small well in the center of the mixture and crack the large egg directly into it. Season the egg lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the yolk is cooked to your desired consistency.
