Another easy recipe and a kids favourite.

This is a very flexible recipe. Where you can change up the meat and veg to whatever you’d like because the sweet and sour from the tomato ketchup flavour takes over mostly everything. It gives you the option of anything in the fridge.

Essentially, you can replace the meat with minced beef, minced pork, spam, chicken, cha siu (roast pork) or anything else you’d like.

You can also sneak broccoli in this, but I usually use stem broccoli, cut them to 1cm length and the deep fry it so it’s nice and crispy to give a different texture.

I’ve tried to let the kids draw on their own omurice, but it usually ends up big patches of ketchup....... sometimes not even on the plate. I’ll try again when they’re older.

Ingredients

  1. Cooked rice
  2. 2Frankfurters
  3. Peas
  4. Tomato ketchup
  5. 3Eggs
  6. Pinchsalt
  7. Chives (optional)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Add a little oil to your pan and heat it up. Cook the frankfurters and peas. Scramble 1 egg and add it to the frank and peas and add the cooked rice and fry it all up.

  2. 2

    Transfer the fried rice to a bowl and add in ketchup and mix it all up until it’s combined. The kids love the taste of ketchup, so I give it a taste test to make sure it’s coming through. You’ll know if you’ve put in too little.

  3. 3

    Spoon some fried rice into a bowl (mould), put a plate on top and flip it all upside down and remove the bowl.

  4. 4

    Scramble the remaining 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Make a thin omelette. Add the omelette on to the fried rice. I leave my omelette ever so slightly runny to give it glossy finish and it tastes better than a dry omelette.

  5. 5

    Add a little chive garnish (optional) and at this point, you can try and draw with ketchup and it’s ready to serve.

I grew up in a Chinese takeaway and I was always fascinated by how my dad used to cook. I have expanded my knowledge away from Chinese cuisine and want to get others interested in cooking.
