Method 7 steps
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. When the oil is hot, fry the garlic and shallots, stirring until brown and fragrant.
Add the chicken pieces, carrot, green peas, and red chilli. Stir for 2 minutes.
Add the rice, nam pla, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until all mixed.
To make the omelette, heat the oil in a separate pan. Beat the eggs, and pour into the pan. Cook until the egg is browned on the bottom.
Flip the egg over to cook on the other side.
Place a ball of the fried rice mixture in the center of the omelette. Fold up the 4 edges of the omelette to enclose the rice. Flip it onto a serving plate.
Serve hot.
