Omurice
Konnichiwa, It's Nami from Just one cookbook.
Today, I wanted to show you how to make Omurice.
Same as the one that you might have seen from Japanese Drama, Midnight Diner Tokyo stories.
Now available on Netflix.
Omuraice is a Japanese omelette rice, which tomato flavor rice is wrapped inside thin omelette.
It's a classic Western style Japanese dish refer to as Yoshoku.
So let me show you how to put it together.
in a small saucepan, add 3 Tbsp tomato puree
add 3 Tbsp ketchup,
2 Tbsp water
mix all together
set aside
clean 4 mushrooms ( 50 g ) with damp towel and slice them
slice 1/4 ( 60 g ) onion and dice into small pieces
cut 4 slices ( 80 g ) ham into small pieces
in a frying pan, heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
sauté onion
add 3 Tbsp ( 25 g ) green peas
mushrooms, and hams
sauté all together
season with pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
add 2 ~ 2 ½ cups cooked Japanese short-grain rice
break big chunks of rice into smaller pieces
add 3~4 Tbsp tomato sauce
make sure to save some sauce for topping
mix well together
set aside
crack 4 large eggs ( 2 for each Omurice ) in a small bowl
add 2 Tbsp ( 1 Tbsp for each ) milk
add pinch of salt
whisk all together
heat frying pan over medium high heat, and add 2 Tbsp butter ( 1 Tbsp each )
add beaten eggs and quickly swirl around with chopsticks
when the mixture is set but still runny, add half of ketchup rice in the middle
wrap the ketchup rice both sides with egg omelette
place the serving plate under the pan, and flip the pan to transfer the omelette rice
place a piece of paper towel, and gently shape the Omurice into a football shape
pour the tomato sauce over the Omurice
itadakimasu!
