Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken breast and cook until it turns white and is no longer pink inside, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and green peas to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the cooked rice and break up any clumps with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through.
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.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
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.
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.
Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and fried rice to make the second omelette.
Drizzle with ketchup as a garnish, and serve immediately.
