TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Chicken Fried Rice is a very popular western-style dish cooked with (of course) Ketchup... because nothing is more western than Ketchup, let's be honest.
Normally, any time someone in Japan mix Chicken, Rice and Ketchup, it's always called Chicken Rice (チキンライス). To make Chicken Fried Rice (or Chicken Rice), you'll first have to sauté the chopped Onions until translucent, add the Chicken, Mushrooms and once the are well cooked, add steamed Rice and Ketchup mixture.
For most Japanese this is a kid's dish. Something kids often eat and it's also very easy to find in family restaurants in Kids Meals. It's reall a classic dish capable of bringing up a nostalgic vibes filled with childhood memories.
The ingredients are very easy to find, even if you are outside Japan, so you won't have problem with this recipe, and if you feel wild enough, try Omurice with Chicken.
