The key to making the chicken rice, which will become the foundation of the omurice, is to stir-fry it with lots of butter and to make use of the savory flavor of the sauce and ketchup!

After adjusting the flavor with some salt and pepper and then giving it a mix, you add the second sauce at (1:13).
