Ingredients

  • Eggs (Use country eggs for a better aroma)
  • Onion
  • Carrot
  • Corn kernels
  • Green peas (Optional)
  • Ham sausage or chicken breast
  • Rice
  • Ketchup
  • Cooking oil (Vegetable oil recommended)
  • Milk (Optional, for a softer egg skin)

Steps

  1. Dice the onion, carrot, ham sausage, or chicken breast into small pieces and set aside.
  2. Heat the wok, pour in 10ml of cooking oil, and wait 10 seconds for it to heat up.
  3. First, stir-fry the diced onion for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the carrots, corn kernels, and peas to continue stir-frying for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the diced ham or chicken breast and stir-fry until the color changes (cooked).
  5. Add the rice and stir-fry to separate the grains. Then add 20ml of ketchup, stir-fry evenly until the fried rice is done. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Beat the eggs and mix with 10ml of milk.
  7. Add 5ml of cooking oil to the wok, pour in the egg mixture, and lightly tilt the wok so the egg evenly covers the bottom of the pan.
  8. Cook on low heat. Once the surface of the egg is half set, place the fried rice in the center of the egg.
  9. Fold the egg skin over to wrap the rice, forming an oval shape.
  10. Gently slide the omelet onto a plate with a spatula, arrange the shape, and squeeze a little ketchup on top for decoration.

- Adding milk to the beaten eggs makes the egg skin softer and more tender.
