1

Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear; this usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes.

2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and the water has been absorbed.

4

While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

5

Crack the eggs into the pan and fry them sunny-side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

6

In the same pan, lightly fry the banana for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

7

Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and place a generous portion on a plate.

8

Top the rice with the fried eggs, the fried banana, and pour the tomato sauce over the entire dish. Season with pepper to taste.

9

Serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
