Easy Ketchup Rice for Bento and Omurice
You may measure sugar or soy sauce, but do you measure ketchup with measuring spoons? So long as the rice is tinted a light pink, it should be ok.
Isn't it hard work to split a soup stock cube in half?
This is what I was thinking when I came up with this recipe.
For the ◎ ingredients, use chicken or whatever you like. But if you add onion, the rice will become somewhat soggy.
The key is to stir fry the added ingredients and ketchup together before adding the rice.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
I've listed 1 rice cooker cup worth (before cooking) of rice, but use as much as you need depending on how much you need.
- 2
Incidentally, I filled a 880 ml and 500 ml capacity bento box (excluding the spaces for the sides) with 650 g of rice!
- 3
To prevent the rice from getting greasy, stir fry the ◎ ingredients with just a little oil (use anything you like). Add the ketchup.
- 4
Stir fry while making sure you don't scorch it. I think you will need about 2 tablespoons of ketchup per 1 rice cooker cup worth of rice (350 g when cooked). Throw in the rice!!
- 5
The rice will turn ketchup-colored. Add the chicken soup stock granules to finish. Add 1 tablespoon per 1 rice cooker cup worth of rice.
- 6
If you add too much ketchup, the rice will be soggy. The ketchup will just lightly color the rice. The chicken stock granules will flavor the rice.
- 7
Other dishes you could pack in your bento along with the rice is this mentsuyu katsudon (pork cutlets on rice with sauce). The rice won't become soggy.

For Omurice ~ Chicken Rice For Omurice ~ Chicken Rice
Stir-fried ketchup rice is high in calories, so I always make it in the rice cooker. My son likes strong flavors, so I always add a little ketchup to the rice when it's done. I sometimes make omurice, but my son prefers the egg mixed in.This time I used ham, but if you are using chicken, slice it into small pieces, season it with salt and pepper, and cook it with the rice in the rice cooker. Green pepper browns when cooked, so I stir-fry half the amount and add it at the end for a nice, colorful finish. Of course, you can just cook it all in the rice cooker if you want!

Narazuke Fried Rice Bento Narazuke Fried Rice Bento
I wanted to make a main dish using my favorite Narazuke, and so I created this recipe. Since the fried rice contains both Narazuka and chirimen jako which are both salty, you only need a little bit of soy sauce and it'll be delicious. I packed the rest of the bento with items with different tastes and textures.Heat up the pan well and cook over high heat throughout. I think this will turn out better if the rice is hot before adding to the frying pan to prevent the pan from cooling down. Recipe by *kaworu*
