Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 0.5 cup Chicken breast (diced)
• 0.25 cup Carrot (finely diced)
• 0.25 cup Frozen green peas
• 0.25 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced chicken breast and cook until it turns white and is no longer pink inside, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, carrot, and green peas to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked rice and break up any clumps with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through.

Step 5

Add the ketchup and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well to coat the rice and vegetables evenly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Remove the fried rice from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-low heat.

Step 8

Pour half the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it around to form a thin layer that covers the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom sets but the top remains slightly runny.

Step 9

Spoon half of the fried rice onto one side of the omelette. Fold the other side of the omelette over the rice to cover it. Gently slide the omuraisu onto a plate, seam-side down.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and fried rice to make the second omelette.

Step 11

Drizzle with ketchup as a garnish, and serve immediately.
