Meanwhile, cook rice: Combine rice, boiling water measure and a pinch of salt in a pot and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 5 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
Prep and cook greens: Thinly slice onion, cut broccoli into florets and dice stalk. Trim ends of beans. Heat oil in a frypan (or a wok) on medium-high heat.
