For breakfast today, I made omurice which is a portmanteau of the words omelette and rice. It’s a Japanese dish that is basically fried rice wrapped in a thin sheet of egg.
Omurice
Here’s (roughly) how I made mine:
- 1/2 cup steamed rice, cooled off
- 2 button mushrooms, chopped
- tablespoon green onions, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- tablespoon ketchup
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- salt
- pepper
- vegetable oil
At medium heat, add the oil and garlic, sautee until slightly brown. Add rice and stir until the rice is heated up again (cooling it off first prevents it from getting all mushy in the stir-frying process). Finally, add mushrooms, green onions, salt, pepper, ketchup and whatever other spices you want to add to the rice. Once all the ingredients are cooked, set the rice aside. Whisk the egg and milk together and pour it into the pan so that it makes a nice thin layer of egg. Once the egg is solidified throughout (flipping is optional), add the rice on one side and fold the other half of the egg over.
Serves one.
