Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 150 grams Chicken breast
- 1 small Onion
- 1 small Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Green peas (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
Instructions
Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the onion and carrot.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and carrot to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the green peas (if using), cooked rice, ketchup, and soy sauce. Mix everything well until the rice is evenly coated and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the fried rice from the heat and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs with 1 tablespoon of milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat the process in a separate bowl for the remaining 2 eggs.
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the first batch of beaten eggs and gently swirl the pan to create a thin, even layer.
When the omelette is just set but still slightly runny on top, place half of the fried rice mixture in the center.
Fold the sides of the omelette over the rice using a spatula to form a pocket. Carefully slide the omu rice onto a plate, seam side down. Repeat with the second batch of eggs and the remaining fried rice.
Drizzle each omelette with ketchup for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
