Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, green peas, and carrot to the pan and sautรฉ for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened.
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.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined.
Heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil and the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting it to ensure an even layer.
Cook the egg gently, making sure not to overcook. The egg should be soft and slightly runny on top.
Place half of the cooked rice mixture across the center of the omelette.
Gently fold the omelette over the rice, and slide the omurice onto a plate. Use a paper towel to help shape it if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining egg and rice mixtures to make the second omurice.
Drizzle with ketchup to taste, and serve immediately.
