Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 small Green bell pepper
• 1 small Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the vegetables: dice the carrot, green bell pepper, and onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the diced carrot, green bell pepper, and frozen peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

Add the cooked white rice into the vegetable mixture. Pour in the soy sauce and ketchup. Stir through the mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 6

In a separate non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the egg evenly.

Step 7

Cook the egg gently, swirling the skillet until it forms a soft, thin omelette. Once set but still slightly runny on top, spoon half of the vegetable rice mixture on one half of the omelette.

Step 8

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the rice. Slide it onto a plate seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture and rice.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot. Optionally, top with a bit more ketchup or hot sauce for extra flavor.
