This is a very traditional Burmese breakfast you can find in a cafe in a city like Yangon or Mandalay. We can also get this in Burma Superstar or other Burmese restaurants in the Bay area. As a vegan dish as shown in the picture below, I don't use eggs. The recipe though uses eggs.
Ingredients
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional)
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
4 cups of leftover cook rice, white rice or brown rice (traditional one is white rice, Burma Superstar uses brown rice)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 medium yellow onion sliced thinly
2 cups of boiled yellow beans (already cool and boiled ahead by above recipe)
For Garnish
1/2 medium yellow onion sliced thinly and fried
2 tablespoon of fried minced fresh ginger (optional)
2 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1 fried egg sunnyside up (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of grounded toasted white sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

Method In a bowl, break eggs and beat with a fork lightly. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat, add 1/2 medium sliced yellow onion, and cook stirring occasionally until it is soft, translucent and tender but not brown. Add beaten eggs and scramble a bit until it is cooked well. Add rice, turmeric, and yellow beans and season with salt. Fry over medium high heat for about 10 mins, while stirring frequently. Taste and season with salt and black pepper. Serve with crispy fried onions. You may also add all other optional garnishes. In Burma, garnishes are brought to your table on small side dishes and up to individual's taste, one can add those to the dish. We love all kinds of garnishes.

Slice onion finely. Cut radish in 4 pieces. Cut carrot on the diagonal in slices, then cut the slices in strips. Quarter the cucumber lengthwise, then slice. You don't have to peel it.
Heat oil in a saute pan and stir fry the garlic until it turns brown. Some fresh minced ginger may also be added. Add all the vegetables and stir fry for about 3 minutes. Add sesame seeds and stir fry for two more minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Add veggies to the rice. Add soy sauce and lemon juice. Serve with tahini poured over all.
