      Hey, it’s a thing, blame the Japanese!

      You fry the rice in ketchup, serve it in an omelette. Optionally top with more ketchup.

      Can sub the ketchup for demi-glace if that is more palettable, but that’s way more effort than I’m willing to put in for lazy time breakfast food.

          You can use ketchup in stir fries the same way you’d use hoisin sauce or oyster sauce. Breaking it down, ketchup is tomato, vinegar, salt and sugar. I put it in after I’ve gotten the wok hei I want off the rice/veg/meat/egg, immediately after getting the food and fond off the sides of the wok with a lil shaoxing wine. Add in your sauces, toss to mix, sprinkle with scallion/chive/garlic scape greens, sesame seeds, serve.
