Omurice
TASTY TIDBITS
I've wanted to taste this food ever since I first saw it in Rooftop Prince. They made it just look so good. I thought it was a Korean food at first, but when I went to look for the recipe I found out it's a Japanese made food. So anyway, I found a recipe and I tried it a few different ways and came up with this style. I've tried it with teriyaki chicken, bulgogi (Korean BBQ Beef) and also Salmon. Each meat is pretty much prepared the way you would normally prepare it. But here is what I did for a chicken omurice.
Ingredients
1/2 medium onion
1 chicken thigh
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt
1 cup cooked Jasmine rice
1 Tbsp. Ketchup and more for decoration
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. teriyaki sauce
Omelette (per person)
1 large egg
1 Tsp. milk
1 Tbsp. olive oil (per person)
Instructions
1. Cook 1 cup of rice in rice cooker and set aside (on warm) either the day before or at least one hour after it is done.
2. Cut onions into small pieces. Set Aside
3. Cut chicken into small pieces. Set Aside
4. Heat skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil, when hot, add chicken and cook until almost done.
5. Add onions to chicken and add 1-2 tbsp of teriyaki sauce (optional) until done.
6. Once the chicken is done add tsp of olive oil to skillet and start adding rice.
7. Once all of the rice is in the skillet, evenly add the soy sauce along with the ketchup over everything.
8. Once everything in the skillet is fully coated, remove from heat and set aside.
9. Prepare eggs, add milk and pinch of salt to egg mixture.
10. In non-stick skillet about 6-7inches wide add 1 tbsp of olive oil.
11. Once the skillet it well heated, add about 1/2 egg mixture.
12. Make sure the egg bottom is well done and it is not fully cooked on top. Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of the fried rice and chicken in center of egg.
13. Flip egg edges over the mixture on both sides.
14. Slid egg and chickent fried rice to edge of skillet and have the serving plate at the edge of the skillet and flip the omelette onto the plate.
15. Use a paper towel and shape
the rice omelette into a football, remove and add ketchup on top.
16. Repeat steps 10-15 for additional omelettes.
