Instructions

0 / 6 steps
  1. 1

    Melt half the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the green peas and sauté for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the cold cooked rice, breaking it apart, then stir in ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper until completely combined and evenly colored.

  3. 3

    Divide the flavored rice between two plates and shape each portion into an oval mound using a spatula.

  4. 4

    Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. In a clean non-stick pan, melt remaining butter over medium-low heat.

  5. 5

    Pour half of the beaten eggs into the pan, swirling quickly to form a soft, creamy omelet sheet. Slide gently over one rice mound.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the second serving and garnish with an extra drizzle of ketchup.
