🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups cooked day-old rice (chilled)
✓ 3 large whole eggs
✓ 4 large egg whites
✓ 1.5 tbsp light olive oil (for fried rice)
✓ 2 tbsp low-sodium chicken broth
✓ 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
✓ 1/4 cup diced onion
✓ 2 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1 tsp soy sauce
✓ 1/4 tsp white pepper
✓ 2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1/2 tsp sesame oil
✓ 1 tbsp ketchup (optional, traditional touch)
✓ 2 tsp fresh chives, chopped

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Fried Rice Base: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant. Add frozen peas and carrots, cook 2 minutes. Add chilled rice, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon. Drizzle broth, soy sauce, and white pepper over rice. Toss continuously for 4–5 minutes until rice is heated through and grains separate. Transfer to serving plates and keep warm.

2. Whisk the Omelette Base: In a bowl, crack the 3 whole eggs and whisk together. Pour egg whites into a separate small bowl and beat lightly until foamy. Combine both egg mixtures and whisk until uniform and light—about 10 seconds. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the Omelette Pan: Use a non-stick 8-inch omelette pan or small skillet. Heat over medium heat and add 0.5 tbsp light olive oil, coating the entire pan base and sides evenly. Let oil heat for 30 seconds until shimmering but not smoking.

4. Pour and Cook the Omelette: Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan all at once. Let it sit undisturbed for 3–4 seconds to set the bottom. Using a silicone spatula, gently push cooked egg toward the center while tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows to the edges. Repeat this motion 4–5 times over 1 minute until the top is still slightly moist but the bottom is golden.

5. Create the Tornado Swirl: Loosen the omelette edges with the spatula. Holding the pan handle with your dominant hand, tilt the pan at a 45-degree angle. Using chopsticks or a fork in your other hand, gently lift and push the omelette from one edge, causing it to roll and swirl into a loose tornado shape as it cooks for 10–15 seconds. Do not flip—just create the visual swirl.

6. Slide onto Rice: Tilt the pan and slide the swirled omelette onto the center of the warm fried rice mound on your plate. The residual heat will set the exterior while keeping the interior slightly creamy.

7. Add the Creamy Finish: In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt with 0.5 tsp sesame oil. Drizzle this mixture lightly over the top of the omelette in a decorative pattern. If using ketchup for traditional presentation, add a thin stripe or dot on top.

8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chives over the omelette. Serve immediately while the omelette is still warm and the rice is hot. Optional: provide extra soy sauce or sriracha on the side for individual taste.
