For the Fried Rice:

- ½ cup cooked chicken (diced) or substitute with shrimp or tofu
- ½ cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra depth)
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil
For the Omelet:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (for a softer texture)

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Fried Rice
- Heat a large pan or skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
- Sauté the chopped onions until they become soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken (or shrimp/tofu) and mixed vegetables to the pan, stirring for another 2 minutes until they are heated through.
- Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir well to combine with the other ingredients.
- Pour in ketchup, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated and has a reddish hue. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Once done, transfer the fried rice to a plate and shape it into a mound using a spoon or bowl for a neater presentation.
Step 2: Make the Omelet
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add butter or oil.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to create a thin, even layer.
- Cook gently, stirring slightly to create a soft, custardy texture while keeping the shape intact.
- Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft in the center, carefully slide it over the fried rice mound.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish
- Use a paper towel or spatula to tuck the edges of the omelet under the rice, shaping it neatly.
- Drizzle ketchup over the top in zigzag patterns or write a cute message if serving for kids.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or an extra drizzle of Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately while warm.
