Serves 2 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Chicken breast
1 cup, diced
Onion
1 small, diced
Carrot
1 small, diced
Frozen peas
1/2 cup
Cooked rice
2 cups
Soy sauce
2 tablespoons
Ketchup
2 tablespoons
Eggs
4, beaten
Salt and pepper
to taste
Green onions
for garnish, sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the diced onion and carrot until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the frozen peas and cooked rice to the skillet. Stir in the ketchup and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything is heated through.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
  7. Pour half of the beaten eggs into the skillet and swirl to create a thin omelette. Cook until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Place half of the fried rice mixture onto one side of the omelette.
  9. Carefully fold the other side of the omelette over the rice, creating a half-moon shape. Slide the omurice onto a plate.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining eggs and fried rice mixture to make a second omurice.
  11. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot, optionally with extra ketchup on the side.
