Prepare the rice ingredients: Dice the chicken breast into 1/2-inch pieces. Finely dice the yellow onion. Set aside.

Cook the chicken and onion: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the finely diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Season the rice: Add the cooked white rice to the skillet with the chicken and onion. Use a spatula or rice paddle to break up any clumps. Stir in the ketchup, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the rice is heated through, well combined, and slightly caramelized.

Shape the rice bears: Divide the seasoned rice into 4 equal portions. On each serving plate, carefully shape one portion of rice into an oval body for the bear. Use a small amount of rice to form two small, round ears on top of the bear's head. Repeat for all 4 servings.

Prepare the omelet mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of milk or heavy cream, and a pinch of salt until just combined. Do not overbeat. Repeat this process for each of the remaining 3 omelets, preparing them one at a time.

Cook the omelets: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a small (about 8-inch) non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy. Pour in one egg mixture. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny. Gently fold or roll the omelet onto itself using a spatula or chopsticks to create a fluffy, elongated shape. Immediately slide the cooked omelet onto a serving plate, placing it next to a rice bear.

Repeat and decorate: Repeat step 6 for the remaining 3 omelets, cooking and plating them one by one. While the omelets are still warm, begin decorating the rice bears. Using kitchen scissors or small cookie cutters, cut out small oval eyes and a nose from the nori seaweed. Cut a small oval for the snout from the white sliced cheese. Cut two small pink circles from the thinly sliced ham or fish cake for the inner ears. Arrange these decorations on the rice bears to create charming faces.

Serve immediately: Present the adorable Bear Omurice to your guests and enjoy!
