Trim the 250 g of green beans and peel the onion, then slice it thin. Put 1 l of water on to boil in the second saucepan.
Get the basmati rice going
Rinse the 200 g of rice in cold water until it runs clear. Put it in a saucepan with 400 ml of water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, then cover and turn the heat way down.
Tip · Rinse the basmati well to get rid of the starch, it'll stay in separate grains instead of sticking.
Cook the rice covered
Let it cook covered over low heat, without lifting the lid, until the water is absorbed. Then turn off the heat and let it steam, still covered.
Cook the green beans
Salt the boiling water in the second saucepan, drop in the green beans and cook them at a rolling boil while the rice cooks. Drain them in the colander.
Cook the onion
Heat the olive oil in the skillet over medium heat and cook the sliced onion until golden. Add the drained green beans and sauté them with the onion.
Beat the eggs
Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, add salt and pepper, then beat them with a fork.
Scramble the eggs
Push the veggies to the side, add the 10 g of butter and pour in the eggs. Stir gently over low heat until fully set, with nothing runny left.
Tip · Pull the skillet off the heat when the eggs are still a little glossy but set: they finish cooking from the leftover heat and don't dry out.
Toss and serve
Fluff the rice with a fork, divide it between two plates and top with the green beans and scrambled eggs. Add pepper to taste.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.
How long does it keep?
Eat it fresh. Soft-boiled, poached or scrambled eggs are made to order: reheated, they firm up and the runny yolk is gone. Make them the day you eat them, it's done in 5 minutes!
