Moksi alesi means mixed rice and comes in as many versions as there are cuisines. With chicken, with herring, with pikin pesi, with salted pork tail. This is the Creole version with salt meat and string beans, the variant you see on the table most often.
First fry the rice briefly in the fat before adding the water. Each grain will then get a coating around it and stay separate, instead of ending up with a sticky layer at the bottom.
You only add the string beans on top of the rice at the very end and do not stir them in. They will then cook in the steam and stay green, while they turn grey and limp if you cook them with the rice from the beginning.
