Description
A delicious Japanese dish combining fluffy omelet and flavorful fried rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup short-grain Japanese rice
- 1 cup onion
- 1 cup chicken/shrimp/vegetables
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2–3 pieces eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- to taste demi-glace
- to taste ketchup or mayonnaise
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of short-grain Japanese rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then combine with 1 cup of water in a rice cooker and cook according to instructions, or boil and simmer on stovetop for 15-20 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes before fluffing.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add one finely diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- Add your choice of diced chicken, shrimp, or mixed vegetables, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the protein is cooked and vegetables are tender.
- Fold the prepared rice into the skillet and drizzle in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of ketchup, stirring for 2-3 minutes until heated through and well-coated.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Beat 2-3 eggs until pale yellow and fluffy. Pour the eggs into the skillet, swirling for an even layer and cooking for 1-2 minutes until edges set and center is soft.
- Scoop a portion of the rice mixture onto one half of the omelet and gently fold the other half over the filling, letting it cook for another minute.
- Gently slide the folded Omurice onto a plate, drizzle with additional ketchup or demi-glace if desired, and serve hot.
