Omurice - Fried Rice Omelet

Long time no post! Sorry about the long delay; vacation plus preparing for college took a lot of time out of me, but I’m back now! Today’s recipe is Omurice! This is a classic Japanese bento item, where you fill an egg pancake with sweet and salty fried rice. You can add your favorite fried rice recipe to this, or you can use mine as a reference, but as always, please don’t follow it exactly. Cooking is all about experimentation and creating your very own food. ^_^

Ingredients:

·      2 large eggs

·      ¼ - ½ tsp salt

·      1 tsp soy sauce

·      1 cup cooked white rice

·      1 tsp – 1 tbsp ketchup

·      1 tsp – 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

·      ½ - 1 small onion, chopped

·      1 tbsp red pepper, chopped

·      2 tbsp carrots, chopped

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with some oil. Sautee the onion, pepper, and carrots in the pan until translucent and cooked through. Add the rice, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce, and stir to combine. Whisk the eggs, salt, and soy sauce together in a bowl. Heat a separate frying pan over medium heat, pour the egg into the frying pan, and cook without stirring until cooked without browning. Flip the egg pancake over and cook the over side the same way. When finished, place some of the fried rice on half the egg pancake, fold the empty half of the pancake over the over half, and place the finished omelet on a plate. All done!
