- 1/3 cup chopped carrot

- 3 Tbsp spaghetti sauce or ketchup (adjust to taste)
- A little olive oil or cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, debone the leftover chicken and prepare the meat. Finely chop the chicken meat, onion, zucchini, and carrot. Finely chopping the vegetables helps them meld well with the rice.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of olive oil or cooking oil. Add the chopped chicken and all the vegetables at once and stir-fry. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the chicken is lightly browned and the vegetables are softened.
Step 3
Once the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, add 2 bowls of warm rice. Use a spatula to break up the rice and stir-fry until it’s well combined with the other ingredients. It’s important to stir-fry thoroughly so that each grain of rice is infused with flavor.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add flavor. Add 3 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce or ketchup over the rice and stir-fry again until evenly mixed. A touch of sweetness and umami will create a richer taste. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Step 5
Prepare the eggs by making scrambled eggs separately, 2 at a time. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, whisk well, then pour into a lightly oiled pan heated over low heat. Cooking them gently until they form soft curds will make them look beautiful and taste tender when placed on top of the rice.
Step 6
On a serving plate, carefully mound the stir-fried rice, shaping it into a dome. Using a mold can help create a neater and more attractive omurice presentation.
Step 7
Gently place the soft scrambled eggs you just made on top of the stir-fried rice. Arrange them naturally so they loosely cover the rice, making it look even more appetizing.
Step 8
Finally, generously drizzle your preferred sauce over the top. Whether it’s spaghetti sauce, ketchup, or tonkatsu sauce, any sauce will be delicious. Enjoy a special meal made easily at home – a delightful omurice!
