O-MU-RICE Omelette Fried Rice ()

- is a contemporary Asian dish consisting of an omelette made with fried rice. Its name derives from the combination of the English wordsomeletteandrice. Omurice is said to have originated from Japan and it became a popular dish at a western-style restaurant in Tokyo's Ginza district around the turn of the 19th century.- a relatively simple dish, it typically calls for rice fried with ketchup, chicken and onions wrapped in a thin sheet of fried egg. Different variations of this dish can include peas, carrots, mushrooms, green peppers, onions andkimchi. Pork or beef can be substituted for chicken as well.Omurice Recipe #1

Ingredients: 1/8 cup carrot 1/8 cup yellow sweet pepper 1/8 cup green sweet pepper 1/8 cup red sweet pepper 1/8 cup jalapeno 1/3 cup yellow onion 1/8 cup chopped long green onion 1/3 cup potato 1/2 cup chopped ham 2-4 tablespoons soy sauce 2 cups of short grain rice 6 whole eggs saltDirections:1. Fully cook 2 cups of short-grain rice so that it is ready to go when you need it.2. Chop up all of your filler vegetables into small pieces, setting them aside into a bowl.3. Put a frying pan with a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil on the stove over mediumto high heat until the oil is hot. Next, add in your bowl of omurice vegetable filling. Fry it for three minutes.4. Next, dump in the two cups of finished, fully cooked rice that youve already prepared. Add salt any any other flavoring ingredients you want. Some omurice recipes call for fish sauce, oyster sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, or pretty much anything else you can imagine. Others introduce spicy pepper paste or even very fermented kimchi. It really is personal preference.We added quite a bit of soy sauce as we enjoy the taste mixed in with the fried rice. This gave it a darker color. From the time you add the rice, you are going to need to continue frying the contents of the pan for another 5 minutes.5. Once thats done, divide the omurice contents into three piles. Each of those three piles will serve as the filling for a single omurice dish.6. Take two eggs, beat them with a couple pinches of salt, whisk them, then strain the mixture so you only get the smoothest liquid. In a freshly oiled frying pan, pour the egg until it is 1/3rd the way cook, which should take practically no time if the pan was sufficiently hot, less than 30-60 seconds in our kitchen.7. Wrap the eggs around the omurice filling so that it holds it all in a burrito-like pocket.8. Flip the omurice so the other side can cook. Depending on your setup, this could take 30 seconds to 3 minutes.9. Transfer the finished omurice to a plate, garnish with ketchup, and serve. If you want a more traditional American option, you might go for green onions and sour cream.

Final Step Go back and finish the other two omurice servings as you should still have 4 eggs and 2 piles of filling left (each egg shell is two eggs). The final dish should provide for three individual meals.Omurice Recipe #2

Omurice Recipe #3Ingredients: Cups Cooked Short Grain Rice 6 Eggs (6 Pinches Salt) Cup Spam or Ham Cup Well FermentedKimchi(Optional) Cup Potato Cup Onion Cup Zucchini Cup Button Mushrooms Cup Red Sweet Pepper Cup Green Sweet Pepper Cup Yellow Sweet Pepper Cup Carrot 2 Tbsp Cooking Oil tsp Salt Ketchup (for Garnish)Directions:1. Finely chop all the vegetable and meat ingredients: cup spam or ham, cup well fermented kimchi (optional), cup potato, cup onion, cup zucchini, cup button mushroom, cup red sweet pepper, cup green sweet pepper, cup yellow sweet pepper, and cup carrot. Depending on your tastes, you can substitute other veggies and/or meats. Just obtain about 2 generous cups of them in total.2. Add 2 Tbsp of cooking oil and all the chopped ingredients in a heated pan. Fry for about 3 minutes on medium-high.3. Add about 2 cups of cooked short grain rice and mix everything together.4. In this step, season the fried rice with tsp of salt. I prefer mine with salt, but you can use ketchup, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or SempiosYoundooinstead. If you skipped the kimchi, you will have to add more salt or other seasoning ingredients for flavor.5. Fry for another 5 minutes on medium and divide the fried rice evenly into 3 groups. Each group will be one serving.6. Break 2 eggs and add 2 pinches of salt. Whisk gently. Each serving will need 2 eggs and 2 pinches of salt. You will perform this step 3 times. This way, you will get an even amount of egg for each serving.7. Strain the egg mixture once to get a nicer color and smoother texture.8. Preheat an 8-inch nonstick pan on medium-high. Drizzle a little bit of cooking oil in the pan and gently wipe the surface with a paper towel. Reduce to medium-low. This helps make it easier to get a nice shape.9. Pour the egg mixture and cook it for about 3 minutes, or until the surface of the egg is half-cooked. Then, put one serving of fried rice in the center of the flat egg. Spread the rice evenly down the center.10. When the egg is cooked, the edge of the egg will become like very thin paper.11. Fold up each side of the egg to cover the rice. Leave it that way for about 2 minutes to finish cooking the egg.12. Flip it once and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the other side has finished cooking.13. Move the finished omelet rice onto a serving plate.14. Decorate it with some ketchup. It looks good and tastes good. Serve it with a salad, kimchi, pickled radish, or any other side dishes that you like. It is very good for brunch, a kids meal, or a lunch box. Enjoy
