2 cups cooked rice Use day-old rice for best texture.
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, etc.) Any preferred combination of vegetables.
2-4 pieces eggs Use 2 for thinner omelet, 4 for thicker.
2 tablespoons ketchup For drizzling on top.
to taste Salt and pepper Adjust seasoning to preference.
as needed Oil for frying Use vegetable or canola oil.
optional demi-glace for topping Add for extra flavor.

In a pan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the mixed vegetables and cooked rice, stir-frying until heated through (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season them lightly.

Heat a non-stick skillet and add oil. Pour in the beaten eggs, swirling to cover the bottom of the pan (about 3 minutes).
Once the eggs are set but still soft, add the rice mixture in the center of the omelet.
Gently fold the omelet over the rice and slide it onto a plate.
Drizzle with ketchup or demi-glace before serving.

For an extra flavor kick, add a pinch of garlic powder. Customize with your favorite proteins or serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for garnish.
