For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil to the rice mixture. Feel free to substitute the ham with other proteins such as cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to tailor the dish to your preferences. Day-old rice works best for fried rice as it is drier and less likely to clump together. If you don't have dried parsley, fresh chives or green onions make a beautiful and flavorful garnish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSauté the Vegetables: Melt half the butter (0.5 tablespoon) in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced cucumber, carrots, tomato, and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
02
StepCombine Rice and Ham: Add the cooked rice and diced ham to the skillet. Cook and stir until everything is heated through and well combined, approximately 5-7 minutes. Transfer the rice mixture to a bowl and set aside.
03
StepPrepare the Omelet: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
04
StepCook the Omelet: Heat the remaining butter (0.5 tablespoon) in the same skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is well-coated. Pour in the egg mixture, swirling to coat the bottom of the skillet evenly. Cook until the edges are mostly set, about 1-2 minutes. As the center begins to rise, gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula and tilt the skillet, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath and cook. Continue until the omelet is set but still slightly moist, about 2-3 minutes.
05
StepAssemble the Dish: Place the rice and ham mixture on top of one half of the omelet. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the rice filling, creating a cocoon shape.
06
StepServe: Gently slide the rice omelet onto a plate. Sprinkle with dried parsley for garnish. Serve immediately.
