Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the fried rice.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the cooked rice, gochujang, ketchup, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, then stir in garlic, dried parsley, and white parts of the green onion. Simmer for a minute.
  2. Add the fried rice mixture to the skillet and stir continuously for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt until combined. Pour into the same skillet and let cook for about 1 minute until the edges begin to set.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over one half of the omelette and cook for another 1-2 minutes until melted.
Assembly
  1. Carefully place the fried rice on the non-cheesy side of the omelette and fold over like a taco.
  2. Transfer the omelette to a plate. Drizzle with Kewpie mayo and garnish with green onion and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or non-stick skillet. For a healthier version, use low-fat cheese or add more veggies.
