A few weeks ago I tried making omelette rice for the first time because my family really had nothing to eat. Others told me it was simple, but I was so afraid mine would just come out badly. BUT it did NOT come out badly, but was actually pretty good for my first try (as told by the "others"). I actually found this recipe from a Japanese manga based on cooking. Who knew it'd come out so well?
OMURICE:
1-3 onions (white/red)
60g chicken
1 bell pepper
1-2 tbp ketchup
salt & pepper (to taste)
1C cooked white rice/sticky rice
1 egg
1/2 tsp potato starch powder
1 slice ham
ketchup (for finishing touches)
2 tsp vegetable oil
Extra Ingredients:
3 carrots, diced
2-3 potatoes, diced
1. Dice the carrots and potatoes. Dice the onions and bell pepper into small pieces. cut the chicken up into 1cm-sized cubes.
2. Add oil to a frying pan, and once it has reached a high enough temperature, add the carrots and potatoes first. When almost cooked, add the onions, bell pepper and chicken; fry. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Once the vegetables are almost cooked, add the rice. Stir it quickly with a wooden spatula and fry until fully cooked.
4. Once mixed, add the ketchup; add more if preferred.
5. In a bowl whip up the egg and add one tsp of water with the potato starch dissolved in it.
6. On a medium heat in another frying pan (small), add a small amount of vegetable oil (enough to cover whole pan). Carefully pour the egg mixture in.
7. It should spread out fully into the pan, and once the edges are dry, carefully turn it over. Let if cook and when done, take it out.
8. On a wooden chopping board lay some clingflim/plastic wrap on top. Put the omelette on top of it, then add the rice to the top of the omelette.
9. Squeeze and twist the clingfilm on both sides, turn it over and put it onto the plate. Carefully remove the wrap.
10. Squeeze ketchup for finishing touches; serve warm.
Tips:
-I forgot to add the chicken, but this recipe is fine vegetarian.
-You can add any other ingredients to your taste. I added potatoes and carrots, but vegetables such a tomatoes, zucchini, beef, etc.
-I have a bad habit of ending up with more than 2 times the normal proportion sizes of normal cooking recipes, so I simply double the ingredients. Comes out fine.
