Ingredients

Hot dog fried rice:

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce
½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
½ cup green peas, thawed if frozen
1 carrot (small), coarsely grated or finely chopped
1 hot dog, slit in half and sliced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
3 cups cooked rice
¼ teaspoon pepper powder (more if required)

Omelette:

4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Instructions

To make hot dog fried rice,

Stir together soy sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to a large skillet and place over high heat.
When hot, add garlic and stir fry for few seconds (don't let get golden) and then add green peas, carrot and hot dogs. Cook (stirring occasionally) for about 2 minutes until vegetables are cooked.
Stir in green onions, rice, pepper powder and sauce. Stir fry for about 1-2 minute until sauce is absorbed into the rice and rice is heated through.
Remove pan from heat.

To make omelette:

Place a medium non-stick skillet with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (spreading the oil to coat the bottom of the skillet) over high heat.
Add half the beaten egg, swirl pan around for the egg to coat the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and carefully remove onto a serving plate with a rubber spatula. Place about half the fried rice over half the omelette, fold the other half over and serve immediately.
Repeat process to make the remaining omelette.

Notes

To use chicken instead of hot dog :

Use leftover cooked chicken - Add ½ chopped leftover cooked chicken along with carrot and peas and proceed with recipe as directed.

Use raw chicken - Add ½ cup finely chopped chicken along with garlic in step-2. Stir, until chicken begins in no longer pink on the outside. Add the veggies and proceed with recipe as directed.

To use shrimp instead of hot dog: Add few cleaned and deveined shrimp along with garlic in step-2. Stir, until shrimp begins to turn pink. Add the veggies and proceed with recipe as directed.

To make fried rice with scrambled eggs instead of omelette: Heat 2 teaspoons of vegeatble oil in the large non-stick skillet. Add 3-4 beaten eggs, cook over low flame (stirring to scramble) until cooked through. Transfer eggs onto a plate. Place pan back over high heat, and proceed with the recipe. Finish by stirring in the scrambled eggs into the rice. Serve.

To pack for school lunch: I spoon fried rice in the middle of the omelette and wrap all edges over to make to neat square or rectangle (depending on the shape of the lunch box) and place seam side down in the box.
