Description

This Omurice recipe is a quick dinner idea that turns simple ingredients into a cozy, satisfying meal with savory ketchup fried rice tucked inside a soft, fluffy omelet. It is an easy recipe for busy nights, comforting lunches, and food ideas you can make with leftover rice when you want something warm, flavorful, and family-friendly.


Ingredients

2 cups cooked rice

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon neutral oil

1/2 cup finely diced onion

1 cup cooked chicken, diced

3 tablespoons ketchup

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon butter for the eggs

2 tablespoons ketchup for topping

2 tablespoons sliced green onions


Instructions

1. Break up the cooked rice so it is loose and not clumped together.

2. Heat the butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the diced onion until soft and fragrant.

3. Add the diced chicken and stir until heated through and lightly golden.

4. Add the rice, ketchup, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper, then stir-fry until the rice is evenly coated and hot.

5. Divide the rice mixture into two oval mounds and set aside.

6. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until smooth.

7. Melt half of the butter for the eggs in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

8. Pour in half of the egg mixture and gently stir until the eggs are softly set but still a little glossy on top.

9. Place one mound of rice on one side of the eggs, then fold the eggs over the rice and slide onto a plate.

10. Repeat with the remaining butter, eggs, and rice mound.

11. Drizzle ketchup over the top and finish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

Day-old rice works best because it stays separate and fries up nicely.

Keep the heat moderate when cooking the eggs so they stay soft and easy to fold.

You can swap the chicken for shrimp, tofu, or extra vegetables if you want a different version.
