Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Yellow Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 6–8 oz Chicken Thighs
- 1/4 cup Frozen Mixed Vegetables
- 3 pieces Brown Mushrooms
- 2 cups Cooked White Rice
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- Ketchup (for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Minced Parsley
Instructions
- Cook your rice a day ahead if possible to achieve the best texture.
- In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic for about 2 minutes.
- Add seasoned chicken thighs to the pan. Sauté until cooked through and no longer pink.
- Toss in the brown mushrooms and frozen mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for about 1 minute.
- Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps as you mix in the ketchup and soy sauce.
- Transfer the rice mixture onto a plate by first mounding it in a bowl.
- In a separate non-stick skillet, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Pour into the greased skillet and cook until slightly scrambled.
- Gently slide the partially cooked omelet over the mound of rice. Garnish with ketchup and minced parsley as desired.
Notes
- Day-old rice is firmer, but fresh rice can also be used.
- Adjust the garlic and salt to your preference.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp.
- Use tamari for a gluten-free dish.
