Instructions

1. Make the sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the flour and stir for 4 to 5 minutes until it turns brown. Gradually add 1 cup of water, stirring until smooth.
2. Add the sugar, mirin, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chicken bouillon powder and black pepper to taste. Mix well, bring to a boil and simmer for 3 more minutes. Take off the heat and keep warm.
3. Finely chop the garlic, carrot and onion. In a small bowl, mix the fried rice sauce ingredients.
4. Beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up, cooking 2 to 3 minutes until it starts to brown. Add the garlic, carrot, onion and sauce, and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
6. Raise the heat to high, add the rice and break it up. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Season generously with salt and black pepder, then mix once more.
7. Pack the fried rice into small bowls, press down gently, then invert each onto a serving plate. Keep warm.
8. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. When very hot, pour in half the beaten egg and cook for 1 minute, until the base is set but the top is still slightly runny. Slide it over one portion of rice. Repeat with the remaining egg.
9. Pour half the sauce over each omelette, garnish with cream and parsley if using, and serve at once.
