Omurice
Omurice, a beloved staple of Japanese comfort food, combines fluffy fried rice with a silky omelette to create a dish that's as visually appealing as it is delicious. The name 'omurice' is a portmanteau of 'omelette' and 'rice,' and it often evokes nostalgic memories of home-cooked meals. This delightful dish can be customized with your favorite proteins and vegetables, making it a versatile and satisfying meal for any time of day.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Chicken breast
- 1 cup, diced
- Onion
- 1 small, diced
- Carrot
- 1 small, diced
- Frozen peas
- 1/2 cup
- Cooked rice
- 2 cups
- Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons
- Eggs
- 4, beaten
- Salt and pepper
- to taste
- Green onions
- for garnish, sliced
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the diced onion and carrot until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the frozen peas and cooked rice to the skillet. Stir in the ketchup and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until everything is heated through.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
- Pour half of the beaten eggs into the skillet and swirl to create a thin omelette. Cook until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place half of the fried rice mixture onto one side of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the other side of the omelette over the rice, creating a half-moon shape. Slide the omurice onto a plate.
- Repeat the process with the remaining eggs and fried rice mixture to make a second omurice.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot, optionally with extra ketchup on the side.
