Scale
- 2 cups white rice, cooked and cooled
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken, diced
- 1/2 cup mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp soy sauce

- 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until soft.
- Stir in chicken and mixed vegetables, cooking until heated through.
- Add rice, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry everything together until evenly coated and warm. Set aside.
- In a bowl, beat eggs with milk.
- Heat a clean nonstick skillet with butter or oil, pour in the eggs, and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until just set but still slightly soft.

- Drizzle with ketchup or demi-glace sauce and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use day-old rice for better texture and easier stir-frying.
- Customize fillings with other proteins like ham, bacon, or tofu.
- Cook eggs gently to avoid overcooking and maintain softness.
