Instructions

1. 1 Cook the rice according to package directions. Day-old rice works even better if you have it.
2. 2 Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and frozen vegetables. Cook 3–4 minutes until the onion softens.
3. 3 Add the cooked rice. Press and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
4. 4 Add ketchup and soy sauce. Toss everything together until the rice is evenly coated and slightly caramelized, about 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set the fried rice aside and keep warm.
5. 5 For each serving: crack 2 eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk, and whisk. Season with a pinch of salt.
6. 6 Heat a small knob of butter in a non-stick skillet or pan over medium heat.
7. 7 Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan and gently stir the centre with a spatula as the edges set. When the egg is just barely set but still soft on top (about 90 seconds), place a portion of fried rice on one half.
8. 8 Fold the omelette over the rice or slide it onto a plate and shape it into an oval. Repeat for remaining servings.
9. 9 Drizzle extra ketchup over the top. Serve immediately.
