Omurice

Ingredients

• 3 cups cold cooked rice
• 6 eggs
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 1 cup vegetables or chicken, diced
• 5 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 tbsp butter
• Extra ketchup to serve

Method

1. Fry the onion and whatever protein or vegetables in butter till soft.
2. Cold rice in, then the ketchup, soy and sugar. Fry hard 4 minutes until the ketchup loses its raw edge and the rice turns orange.
3. Pack the rice into a bowl, then turn it out onto a plate in a mound.
4. Omelette: beat 3 eggs, cook on LOW in butter, stirring for 30 seconds, then let the base set while the top stays runny.
5. Slide it over the rice mound so it drapes and settles.
6. Ketchup on top. Traditionally a squiggle.
