omurice - Japanese rice omelette

Omurice (Japanese Rice Omelette)

Omurice is a classic Japanese dish. The rice is flavored with tomato and wrapped around a soft omelette. You can also add an omurice sauce (demi-glace sauce recipe) on the top for extra delicious flavor!

There are many different types to make the egg omelette. The most famous one is the scrambled egg version. This recipe is more simple! The egg omelette is slowly cooked and very thin. Then the rice is wrapped inside. Both are delicious versions and have great flavor!

Japanese omelette rice called omurice

Ingredients you need for your omurice:

fried rice:

  • cooked rice (leftover rice is best)
  • onion
  • garlic
  • frozen peas
  • carrot
  • ketchup
  • sugar
  • soy sauce
  • cooked chicken or choice of protein (optional)
  • oil (vegetable or canola oil)

Omelette:

  • eggs
  • milk
  • salt
  • chicken bouillon
  • butter

Steps to make the omurice:

  • Step 1. Heat pan to medium heat and once hot, add 2 tbs oil. Add minced 1/4 onion and 1/2 tablespoon garlic. Next, add diced carrots and 1/4 cup of peas. Saute for 1 minute.
  • Step 2. Next, add 2 cups of cooked rice (leftover rice works best!) to the pan and break apart the rice. Once the rice looks cooked and broken apart, you can add seasoning!
  • Step 3. Add 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of ketchup and 1 teaspoon sugar and mix well. You can also add cooked protein (I added chicken) if you like! There’s not a huge change of flavor if you don’t add any protein ◡̈ Set fried rice aside.
  • Step 4. Whip 3 eggs with 1 tablespoon milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon until there’s no egg white visible. This makes the omelette really smooth and pretty!
  • Step 5. Heat non-stick pan on low heat. Then add slice of butter. Gently add the eggs in the pan until the pan is covered.
  • Step 6. Add a lid on the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the egg is cooked through.
  • Step 7. To assemble, add 1 cup of the fried rice to the omelette. Fold the sides and gently turn over.
  • Step 8. Top with ketchup or demi-glace sauce! Hope you enjoy!

Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past sum Me visiting New York 5 years ago vs. this past summer! So much has changed since then. I went to NY when I just graduated college and was introduced to the food scene for the first time ever thanks to my dear friend, Tina (hi girl!). Then, I went back this past summer and fell in love again with the food. I think New York does a modern take of asian food very well (doesn’t compromise the original flavors). Don’t get me wrong, there’s very tasty authentic food for really cheap too! One of my favorites is May Wah Fast Food in Chinatown where they serve delicious Taiwanese chicken rice for $6.50!

Check out my new blog post of the best places to eat in NY (in my opinion of course!!) [https://cookwithdana.com/best-places-to-eat-in-new-york/]

If you’re local to NY/visiting and tried one of the restaurants, send me a photo! I love to see and live vicariously through u.

We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-In We stayed in for Valentines Day to enjoy a Thai-Inspired Dinner! We ate basil pork belly, braised soy sauce eggs, taro & pork belly (made by my dad!), shrimp toast, pork chops, and mango sticky rice for dessert. I made the dessert with my boyfriend, Theo and it took 10 minutes! We used @eatinnovasian Sticky White Rice mixed with sweetened coconut milk. Then, placed ripe yellow mango on top for a delicious thai-inspired dessert :) Swipe to see our food tasting reaction. #ad

Here’s a quick recipe on how I made the mango sticky rice - 

Ingredients:

- @EatInnovasian Sticky White Rice (half pack)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- ⅓ cup white sugar (adjust to your own sweetness)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 ripe yellow mango, sliced

Directions:

1. Heat up coconut milk with sugar and salt. Stir frequently and cook for 3-5 minutes. Cool down.
2. Heat up sticky white rice according to package directions.
3. Once the rice cools a little bit, add ¼ cup of the coconut mixture and mix together. Plate the rice with sliced yellow mango. Pour leftover sauce (as much as you’d like) on the mango and rice. 

Please note that this is not the same as thai mango sticky rice, but a great hack to get a quick, easy, & delicious thai inspired dessert :)

So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, So EXCITED (and nervous) that our family cookbook, Homecooked, is launching today! The book includes 15+ written recipes and video tutorials so you can watch exclusive, delicious, and calming video content all at once🤩! You can shop the cookbook in the link in my bio or go to cookwithdana.com/shop

All the recipes mean a lot to me because they were the foods that my parents made for me as a kid. As I've gotten older, I started appreciating these dishes more because they remind me of home! Most importantly, I wanted to pass down authentic recipes and share the meaning behind some Chinese traditions to my kids and virtual friends (hehe you!) 💜   If you grew up in a Cantonese household and you miss some 'homecooked' food, you have to make these recipes ◡̈  (I got Sai Yeung Choy Tong there for my canto gang!)

I've been cooking with my family this past year in the kitchen to taste test and film how to make their best dishes. We tweaked and MEASURED (IYKYK) all our recipes to ensure that you can have a taste of our home. Some of my favorite recipes in the cookbook are cha siu, crab with vermicelli, and pork & chive potstickers! It would mean the world to us if you cooked these recipes as well. 

Hope you get to cook an authentic Chinese feast or learn more about Chinese culture with Homecooked♥️💛 

If you wondered how the aesthetics are sooo 👌🏼, or you've already seen how BEAUTIFUL they look, all credit to my SUPER TALENTED friends @aiireeyo @lifted.and 

Also thank you for the ones the liked my first post hehe I messed up 🤣 and reposted again.

Check out my reels to see the ginger scallion lobster recipe and video. I used fresh lobster and fried the ginger and scallions in @cookwithyouyou tea seed oil! I love using the oil when cooking food in high heat (for that wok hei flavaa 😉)
