How to make it
1
Cut the onion and chicken
- On the cutting board, finely chop the onion (about 5 mm pieces)
- On the cutting board, cut the chicken into 1.5 cm cubes
- Wash the cutting board and knife you used for the chicken before cutting anything else
How to tell it's doneThe onion and chicken are all cut and kept separate.
2
Stir-fry the chicken and onion
- Heat 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat
- Add the chicken and stir-fry, mixing with a spatula
- When the chicken turns white, add the onion and stir-fry 2 min more
How to tell it's doneThe onion is see-through and soft. Cut the biggest piece of chicken: no pink inside.
3
Add the rice and make ketchup rice
- Add about 300 g rice and mix everything, breaking up the rice with cutting motions of the spatula
- Add 4 tbsp ketchup, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper, and stir-fry until all the rice is red
- Taste it, and if it is too mild, add a pinch of salt
- Divide between 2 plates and shape each into a long oval mound with a spoon
How to tell it's doneNo lumps of white rice are left, and it is all the same red color.
Be carefulIf you use cold rice, warm it in the microwave first so it breaks up easily.
4
Cook the eggs and put them on top (1 serving at a time)
- In a bowl, put 2 eggs, 1 tbsp milk and a pinch of salt, and beat well with chopsticks
- Wash the frying pan, or wipe it clean with a paper towel
- Put 10 g butter in the frying pan and melt over medium heat. When it foams, pour in all the egg
- Stir 5–6 times in big circles with chopsticks. When the edges start to set, turn off the heat
- Tilt the frying pan and slide the eggs onto the ketchup rice from step 3
- Make the other serving the same way with the remaining 2 eggs, 1 tbsp milk, a pinch of salt and 10 g butter
How to tell it's doneThe bottom of the egg is set, and the top is still a little soft. If lots of raw liquid egg is left on top, keep the heat on and cook 20–30 sec more. If small children, older people or someone who is unwell will eat it, cook until no liquid egg is left on top before putting it on the rice.
Be carefulOn high heat, butter burns brown very fast. Keep it on medium heat.

If it didn't work out
The ketchup rice is soggyIt was not stir-fried long enough after adding the ketchup. Next time, stir-fry 1 more min after all the rice turns red.
The eggs are hard and dryThey cooked too long in step 4. Next time, turn off the heat as soon as the edges set.
The eggs tore instead of sliding onto the riceThey stuck to the frying pan. Next time, wait until the butter foams before adding the eggs. If they tear, just fix the shape from above with a spoon.
The flavor is weakAdd a pinch of salt when you taste in step 3. You can also use more ketchup on top.
