For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding diced onions, carrots, or mushrooms to the rice mixture. If you don't have ham, cooked chicken or shrimp would also work well. Feel free to experiment with different sauces. A demi-glace or mushroom sauce would be delicious alternatives to ketchup. For a truly authentic presentation, practice your omelet-making skills to achieve a perfectly smooth and unblemished surface.

01
Step
8 mins
Prepare the Rice Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly coat with cooking spray or a touch of oil. Add the cooked rice, cubed ham, and 2 tablespoons of ketchup. Cook and stir until well combined, heated through, and the rice is evenly coated in the ketchup, approximately 8 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and gently shape it into an oval mound.

Craft the Omelet: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the edges begin to set, but the top is still slightly moist. Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Once the omelet is mostly set, carefully fold it in half or into a cocoon shape using the spatula. Remove from heat when the eggs are cooked through but still tender.

Assemble and Garnish: Gently place the omelet on top of the prepared rice mound. With a sharp knife, make a shallow lengthwise cut along the top of the omelet. Gently pull the sides apart to create a butterfly effect, allowing the omelet to gracefully drape over the rice. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of ketchup over the omelet and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy this Japanese comfort food classic!
