“How to make Omurice” By Donna Y



Omurice is a simple dish, fried rice wrapped in a thin omelette, that is delicious and fills you up. To give you some background information, this dish originally comes from Japanese cuisine and it became a popular dish in the Korean cuisine after it was introduced when Japan occupied Korea during 1910-1945. It is also a fusion between the western omelette and the Asian fried rice. I personally love Omurice because growing up my grandma would prepare it whenever I was hungry, so it gives me the feeling of home and comfort. I highly encourage you to try making this dish using the recipe below! 

Ingredients: ( 2 servings)
( fried rice )
1⁄2 onion
2 ounce of any meat you prefer
1 Tbsp olive oil
1⁄2 cup frozen mixed vegetables (defrosted) salt
ground black pepper
11⁄2 cups cooked rice
1 Tbsp ketchup ( more for decoration )
1 tsp soy sauce

( omelette )
2 large egg 2 Tbsp milk Olive oil
Procedure:
( fried rice )
1. Chop the onion finely.
2. Cut the meat into 1/2" (1 cm) pieces.
3. Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and cook the onion until soft.

4. Add the meat and cook until no longer pink.
5. Add the mixed vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
6. Add the rice and break the rice to make sure there are no lumps. 7. Add ketchup and soy sauce and mix everything evenly.
8. Transfer the fried rice to a plate.

( omelette )
1. Whisk the egg and the milk in a bowl
2. Heat olive oil in the pan over medium-high heat, and make sure the pan is evenly coated with oil.
3. When the pan is hot, pour half the egg mixture into the pan and tilt to cover the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat when the bottom of the egg has set. ( repeat 2x) 4. Finally, cover the omelette over the fried rice. ( optional: you can decorate it with ketchup on top of the omelette )

I was so excited when I saw this recipe! After years of reading about omurice in manga, I finally have the opportunity to try making it, especially after how simple your instructions are to follow. My only suggestion is to post a picture of omurice for people who have never heard of it and to use bullet points for the ingredients so that it's easier to read.

Unfortunately, I have food allergies so I can't enjoy this simple dish as much as I'd like to. However, my brother and my mom have a slight obsession and enjoy it a lot. Hopefully, they'll enjoy this dish and be able to make a new variation of the meal. Thank you for sharing! :-)

After having tried this rice last week at a certain café, I'm glad to see a recipe that explains how its made. I never would have expected so many steps for such a simple dish, but its definitely worth the end product. I also enjoyed the historical background you gave to the recipe which really added to the depth of your how to guide. Great job. Gavin Gnaster
