Description
Omurice is a classic Japanese comfort dish featuring fluffy fried rice wrapped in a silky omelet, topped with ketchup or demi-glace.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast diced
- 1/4 cup frozen peas and carrots thawed
- 2 cups cooked short-grain rice
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Ketchup or demi-glace sauce for drizzling
- Chopped green onions or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent, then add chicken and cook through.
- Add peas and carrots. Stir in rice and break up any clumps. Mix in ketchup and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a bowl, beat eggs with milk or cream until just combined.
- In a clean skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl. Stir gently to let uncooked egg fill the gaps.
- When eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, add half the rice to one side of the omelet. Fold over and shape into a half-moon.
- Slide onto a plate, seam-side down.
- Drizzle with ketchup or demi-glace. Garnish with green onions or parsley. Repeat for second serving.
