Description

A delicious Japanese-style omelette filled with chicken rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Japanese short-grain rice (cooked and cooled)
  • 1 cup chicken (diced)
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup (for flavor)
  • 1 cup vegetables (like peas or bell peppers)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (for frying)
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add diced chicken and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Stir in finely chopped vegetables and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
  3. Next, add cooked rice and 3 tablespoons of ketchup, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through; set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together 4 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
  5. Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula, allowing the edges to set while the center remains slightly runny, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once the omelette is cooked but still soft in the center, place a generous portion of the chicken rice mixture in the center. Fold the omelette gently over the rice, creating a neat package. Allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. To plate your Omurice, carefully slide the wrapped omelette onto a warm plate, seam side down. Drizzle with extra ketchup or your favorite sauce. Garnish, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding cheese inside the omelette.
  • Customize vegetables based on your preference.
