Omuraisu is similar in flavor and style to hash browns and eggs. This delicious Japanese rice omelet recipe works wonderfully as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner, especially for those not ready for the typical raw fish or white rice.

Ingredients

1 cup cooked white or brown rice
2 thins slices cooked ham , cubed
3 tablespoons ketchup , divided
1 slice processed cheese food , such as Velveeta
2 eggs
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.25 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1

Heat a skillet over medium heat; coat with cooking spray. Add cooked rice, ham, 2 tablespoons ketchup, and cheese; cook and stir until well combined and heated through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl; shape into an oval.
2

Beat eggs, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Heat a small skillet over medium heat; coat with cooking spray. Add egg mixture; cook until eggs start to set. Lift edges, letting uncooked portion run underneath. Gently fold eggs, using a spatula, into a cocoon shape. Remove from heat when eggs are completely set.
3

Place omelet on top of rice; run a knife lengthwise through top layer of omelet to open like a butterfly and drape over rice. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon ketchup; sprinkle with parsley.
