Directions 10 steps

  1. 1

    Cut the onion and chicken (or sausage) into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat oil or butter in a frying pan over medium heat and stir-fry the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Once cooked through, add the rice and stir-fry while breaking up any clumps.

  4. 4

    Add ketchup and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    When evenly mixed, shape into a mound in the center of a plate.

  6. 6

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk and salt, and mix well.

  7. 7

    Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat.

  8. 8

    Pour in the egg mixture and stir with a spatula or chopsticks in large, sweeping motions.

  9. 9

    Turn off the heat when the eggs are still soft and slightly runny.

  10. 10

    Place the soft-scrambled eggs on top of the chicken rice and drizzle with ketchup to finish.

Notes

The key is to turn off the heat while the eggs are still soft — residual heat will continue cooking them. Stir-frying the ketchup with the rice reduces its acidity and adds a deeper flavor.
