Cooking Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Once melted, add diced chicken and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter or oil. Toss in finely chopped onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until they become translucent. Stir in peas and carrots, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until tender.
- Add day-old rice to the skillet, breaking clumps apart. Toast the rice lightly for 2-3 minutes, then drizzle in the ketchup. Mix thoroughly and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Turn off the heat and scoop the rice mixture onto plates, forming oval mounds.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and a splash of milk until frothy. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until set but slightly runny in the center.
- Carefully lift the omelet and slide it over one mound of rice. Allow it to drape over the rice gently.
- Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture to create a second omelet over the second rice mound.
- Drizzle ketchup artistically over the tops of your Omurice before serving while warm.

Notes
Using day-old rice ensures a fluffier texture. Prepare ingredients ahead for quicker cooking, and season to taste.
