Confetti Omurice!

You may be familiar with the creative recipes by Tasty (a page on Facebook that puts cute, simple, fun recipes up for people to enjoy and try out). I got this recipe from Tasty Japan, and it is so cute and delicious, and it’s definitely worth a try! A picture of my attempt at it is below; it turned out pretty well and tasted delicious! It’s simple and fun, so give it a try yourself!

Ingredients:

·      1 cup cooked jasmine rice

·      ½ small onion, diced

·      ½ boneless chicken breast, diced

·      Soy sauce

·      Worcestershire sauce

·      Ketchup

·      1 tbsp peas

·      1 tbsp carrots, diced

·      1 egg, beaten

·      Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, etc.)

***I will be posting a recipe for garlic fried rice soon, so if you’d like to use that instead of the really basic fried rice recipe used here, or you can use your own fried rice recipe!***

Heat a large frying pan to medium-high heat. Add a couple tablespoons of oil to the pan, then add the onions and chicken and fry until the chicken is fully cooked. Add the rice and stir to combine, then add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and seasonings to taste. Remove the pan from the stove, fill a small bowl with the fried rice and pack down, then invert the bowl on a small plate to create a small dome of rice.

Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Line another small bowl with plastic wrap, add the beaten egg, peas, and carrots, bring up the sides of the plastic wrap and secure shut with a rubber band. You should now have a small pouch with the egg and vegetables well secured. Place the pouch in the simmering water and move it around in the water gently to cook for 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently cut and remove the plastic wrap around the egg bundle, and place the bundle gently on top of the rice dome. And now you are all set!
