Omelet Rice, or 'Omurice', is a delightful Korean brunch dish featuring fluffy fried rice wrapped in a silky omelet, drizzled with savory ketchup. This comforting meal combines the rich flavors of vegetables and chicken with a unique twist, making it perfect for any time of the day.

Ingredients

• cooked rice - 1 cup
• chicken breast, diced - 100 grams
• carrot, finely chopped - 1/4 cup
• green peas - 1/4 cup
• onion, finely chopped - 1/4 cup
• vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• ketchup - 2 tablespoons
• soy sauce (gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• eggs - 4 large
• milk - 2 tablespoons
• chopped green onions - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and green peas to the skillet. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. Stir in the cooked rice, ketchup, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt.
5. In a separate non-stick pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to cover the bottom evenly.
6. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny. Place half of the rice mixture onto one side of the omelet.
7. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet over the rice. Cook for another minute, then slide the omelet onto a plate, seam side down.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and additional ketchup if desired.
