Hello everyone, I’m MASA
Today I’d like to share a recipe of
a tasty and cute bento
It’s called (JP) Omuraisu Bento
Omelet Rice Bento
Many of you have probably watched |
my previous videos |
introducing several ways of making an omelet rice |
Today I’m going to make a bento with an omelet in it |
Frankly, it’s not that easy to form an omelet in shape |
You have to be capable of making well |
use of a pan to roll it up |
Especially when making a bento |
you’ve to figure out the arrangement of the content in advance |
How to form it in shape? |
How to roll the wrap up? |
How you can present it in a bento |
It sounds a bit troublesome |
But if you follow my cooking steps |
I believe that…you have a high chance |
to complete it (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)b |
Ok, let's get started!!
[Tip] Stir-frying ketchup first helps mellow the acidity! |
[Tip] Straining the egg liquid through a sieve helps make a smooth egg sheet~! |
[Tip] Starch makes egg sheet more flexible=less chance of tearing while wrapping |
[Tip] Using the residual heat, there's no need flipping to cook the other side! |
Alright, the omelet is almost done
The final step is to take out the plastic wrap |
and put the formed omelet back to the bento |
Speaking of plastic wrap |
if you rather not to use plastic |
you can also use moisten cheesecloth to form the shape |
Now that the omelet is ready (main dish) |
I'd like to fill the rest of the bento space with |
savory sautéed Chicken (contains protein) |
& vegetable (contains fiber) |
so that you can enjoy |
nutrition-balanced and delicious side dishes |
Alright, let's continue~! (๑>◡<)و |
Ok, a cute omelet rice bento is completed~
It’s too lovely to eat
Let me take a photo first
Beautiful!
A photo we take for a lovely thing like this bento
we often call it (JP)“Ba ei ru” in Japanese
or (JP) “insuta ba ei suru”
Both terms stand for “Instagrammable”
which is suitable for sharing its photo on Instagram
Many people like to share a cute photo like this particularly
[PR time] Welcome to follow me on Instagram
(please search: masa_cookingram)
So now, let me try the taste of it
Let me begin with the middle part
(JP) Dewa Itadakimasu
The Tomato fried rice is really tasty
The fried rice is cooked with ketchup
But I also season it with Tabasco
that gives another layer of mild spicy flavor
So, I think it’s more suitable for adults
The texture of the egg sheet is nicely cooked as well
The fluffy egg sheet and the chewy fried rice
are a wonderful combination
Alright, let me try the side dishes
Look at the beautifully sautéed chicken skin in golden brown
(JP) Dewa Itadakimasu
The chicken is really savory
Upon taking a bite of the chicken skin
you can taste a slightly charred aroma
Ok, I hope that after watching today’s recipe
you’d like to give it a try as usual
An important reminder to make a bento is |
to keep your food sanitary |
Remember to cool off all cooked ingredients |
before putting them into a bento box |
If you place food that is still warm into a bento and seal it |
the bento can be ruined very easily |
When you open the bento at lunch time |
bacteria may have grown in warm environment |
& ruin the whole bento (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) |
So, don’t forget to cool off the cooked ingredients |
in a shallow container |
before placing them into a bento box |
At lunch time, we Japanese usually |
eat bento at room temperature |
If you’d like to enjoy a warm bento |
you can of course heat it up with a microwave or a steamer |
I hope you all enjoy a healthy and delicious bento! |
Thank you!
