Ingredients:
- 4 cups steamed Japanese rice
- 1/2 lb. chicken breast
- 1 green peppers, chopped
- 4 white mushrooms, sliced

- *salt and pepper to season
- 4 Tbsp. ketchup

Preparation:
Cook steamed rice. Cut chicken into small pieces. Chop green pepper and onion. Slice mushrooms thinly. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet and saute chicken. Add onion, mushrooms, and green pepper in the skillet and saute together until softened. Add steamed rice in the pan and stir-fry together. Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Stop the heat and add ketchup and mix well. Set the seasoned rice aside. Heat 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Beat two eggs in a small bowl and pour the egg in the skillet. Quickly spread the egg and make a round omelet. Place 1/4 of the seasoned rice in the middle of the omelet and fold top and bottom sides of omelet over the rice. Cover the frying pan with a plate and turn them over to place the omerice in the plate. Repeat this process to make four omelet rice.
