Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and rice is cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
In a large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the onion, carrot, and green bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked chicken back to the pan along with the peas. Stir in the gluten-free soy sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well.
Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir to combine all ingredients evenly with the chicken and vegetables. Adjust seasoning if needed. Set the rice mixture aside and keep it warm.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until smooth.
In a clean non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly and cook until just set but still slightly runny on top.
Spoon half of the chicken rice mixture onto one side of the cooked egg. Carefully fold the other side of the egg over the rice to create an omelette.
Gently slide the omurice onto a plate, using a spatula if needed for support.
Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and rice to make the second omurice.
Serve the Gluten-Free Omurice warm, garnished with extra ketchup if desired.
