Step-by-Step Instructions for Japanese Omelette Rice
- Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the white parts of the green onion and diced onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions become fragrant and translucent.
- Next, add the diced carrot, Spam (or your choice of protein), and optional mushrooms to the skillet. Stir everything together, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the carrot softens and the Spam becomes slightly crisp.
- Incorporate the day-old cooked rice into the skillet, breaking up any clumps as you stir. Pour in the soy sauce and ketchup, mixing well until everything is coated and heated through, around 2-3 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are about 80% set.
- Once the omelette is nearly cooked, carefully invert the bowl of rice onto a serving plate, forming a dome. Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette over the rice, securing it in place. Drizzle with ketchup and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes
Ensure the best texture by using day-old rice; freshly cooked rice can become gummy and mushy during frying.
