1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Stir-fried rice
1/2 medium size onion, minced
3 Shiitake mushrooms, minced
12 oz steamed white or brown rice

2 tablespoons fresh or frozen green peas
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon

Recipe

Stir-fried rice
Cut chicken breast meat into half inch pieces.
In a heated medium size skillet, put oil and spread it. Bring the chicken pieces. Grill them over high heat until getting light brown.
Using a mesh strainer, drain juice off the chicken pieces for about 10 minutes.
Bring a half tablespoon of butter in a nonstick large source pan, and heat over medium.
Bring green peas and minced onion, and cook them for about 5 minutes until getting tender.
Add the chicken pieces and minced Shiitake, and cook for another 5 minutes until all well done. When it's done, set aside on a large dish.
Bring a half tablespoon of butter in a nonstick large source pan, and heat over medium.
Bring the steamed rice into the saucepan, and stir with a spatula.
When the rice is half fried, add the prepared vegetables and chicken, salt and pepper to the rice.
Cook for about 5 minutes until all mixed well.
Omelet
In a small bowl, bring eggs and remove chalaza using chopsticks. Don't skip the chalaza removal process for a better tasting result. Whisk eggs.
Through a fine mesh strainer, strain the whisked egg into another small bowl to smooth it out removing the remaining of egg and chalaza.
Use a spoon to beat out whisked egg through strainer.
Add half and half milk, salt and pepper to the egg. Mix well.
Finishing
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick medium pan over medium heat.
Bring a half of the egg mixture in the source pan.
Cook for about a half minute until the mixture begins to set.
Turn over the mixture baking the other side for about a quarter minute.
Place a half of the stir-fried rice in the center of the omelet.
Wrap the stir-fried rice with the omelet.
Repeat the procedure with the second half of egg mixture for the remaining stir-fried rice.
Serve warm with tomato ketchup on top.
