Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked rice
• 150 grams Chicken breast, diced
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Green peas
• 0.25 cup Carrot, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup (for drizzling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, green peas, and carrot to the pan and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked rice, 3 tablespoons of ketchup, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.

Step 6

Heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil and the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

Step 7

Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting it to ensure an even layer.

Step 8

Cook the egg gently, making sure not to overcook. The egg should be soft and slightly runny on top.

Step 9

Place half of the cooked rice mixture across the center of the omelette.

Step 10

Gently fold the omelette over the rice, and slide the omurice onto a plate. Use a paper towel to help shape it if needed.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining egg and rice mixtures to make the second omurice.

Step 12

Drizzle with ketchup to taste, and serve immediately.
