Finely chop the onion and garlic. Slice the banana into rounds.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and fry, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly browned and heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
Push the rice to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the cleared space and quickly scramble them until set. Mix the cooked eggs with the rice.
Add the banana slices to the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until the bananas are slightly caramelized and softened. Carefully mix everything together.
Serve the fried rice immediately. You can garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- For the best fried rice, use chilled, pre-cooked rice. It holds its shape better and won't clump together.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of ground cayenne pepper along with the salt and black pepper.
- It's best to fry bananas when they are slightly underripe; this helps them maintain their shape and prevents them from becoming too soft.
- Before serving, you can sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or chives for added freshness.
