Instructions: Soak lentils in warm water to cover for 30 minutes; drain. Wash and drain rice.

Heat oil in a 2-quart pan over medium heat. Add ginger, shallot, and green onion. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add lentils and rice; mix well. Add water and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until craterlike holes appear on the rice, 8 to 10 minutes.

Reduce heat to low. Add carrot and green beans; cover and continue cooking until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

Add soy sauce and mix well
