Ingredients:

Preparation Steps:

• Rinse and cook rice as per package instructions.

• In a separate pan, cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled or fried).
• Mix in the salami, cheese, peanut butter, miso paste, and cucumber into the beans and greens mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the hummus and stir until well combined.
• Serve the bean and greens mixture over the cooked rice, top with cooked eggs, and sprinkle with dill pickles.
• Dust with wheat flour before serving for a thickened, creamy texture.
