Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Chicken breast (diced)
• 0.5 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 0.25 cup Carrot (diced)
• 0.25 cup Frozen peas
• 3 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and carrot for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and sauté until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the frozen peas, then add the cooked rice. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add 3 tablespoons of ketchup and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the mixture. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until evenly coated and heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Transfer the fried rice to a plate and shape it into a mound or oval.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and swirl gently to create an even omelette.

Step 7

When the egg is just set but still slightly runny on top, carefully slide the omelette over the mound of rice using a spatula. Tuck the edges of the omelette under to wrap the rice.

Step 8

Drizzle a little extra ketchup on top for garnish, and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
