30 g butter
1 banana shallot or small onion, diced
60 g shiitake mushrooms destemmed and diced
1 chicken thigh boneless and skinless, cut into 1cm cubes (optional)
300 g cooked rice (from 150g uncooked; rice that has been chilled in the fridge works best)
ketchup to taste, plus extra to serve
soy sauce to taste
salt to taste
pepper to taste
3 eggs beaten with 1 tbsp double cream (optional)

Melt half of the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat, then sauté the shallot or onion until translucent. Add the shiitake and the chicken (if using) and sauté until the mushrooms soften and the chicken is cooked through.
Add the rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir in the ketchup, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat, then tip in the beaten eggs and season with a little salt.
Cook the egg until set on the bottom but still runny on top, then gently fold the eggs over themselves so the runny bit is now in the middle. Scoop the fried rice into a mound on a plate, then tip the omelette onto the top of the rice. Serve with more ketchup, if you like.
