Marius has been requesting omurice for a while now, but I’ve always thought it was really difficult to make. Maybe he saw an omurice recipe online or in some videos, and that’s why he’s been asking for it. Finally, I gave in and decided to give it a try!
Since it was my first time making it, I did a bit of research to make sure I wouldn’t mess it up. Surprisingly, my first attempt turned out quite well! Here’s my step-by-step guide to cooking Omurice, along with a few tips I picked up along the way.
Ingredients I Used for my Omurice Recipe
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp oyster sauce (for flavor)
- Cooked rice (shaped into a boat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp oil or butter (for cooking)
- Ketchup and mayonnaise (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking Omurice
Step 1: Prepare the Rice
First, I shaped the rice into a boat and placed it on a plate. This step is important because the omelet will go right on top later, giving it that classic omurice presentation! The rice I used is left over rice from Eat Fresh restaurant.
Step 2: Beat the Eggs
For the omelet, I used 3 eggs. Instead of just salt and pepper, I added a bit of oyster sauce for extra flavor. You can also add a little milk or cooking cream if you want a fluffier texture—totally up to you!
Step 3: Heat the Pan
Make sure your pan is hot before adding the eggs. I used the “Tasty” pan that Marius bought, and I have to say, it’s pretty impressive—really non-stick! I brushed it with a little oil or butter to make sure the eggs cooked smoothly.
Step 4: Pour the Beaten Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Right after pouring, quickly grab a pair of chopsticks and start beating the eggs while swirling the pan in a circular motion. The key here is speed—you have to move fast so the eggs don’t set too quickly. I used medium heat to make sure it cooked just right.
Step 5: Check the Edges
Once the edges start to set, use the chopsticks to gently scrape them away from the sides of the pan. This helps prepare the omelet for folding. Then, carefully lift one side of the egg with a spatula to begin the fold.
Step 6: Flip the Omelet
Carefully shake the pan to make sure the omelet isn’t sticking. Once it’s free, flip the omelet to fold it completely. Be careful during this step—it’s easy to tear the egg!
Step 7: Place the Omelet on the Rice
Now for the fun part! Gently place the omelet on top of the boat-shaped rice. Make a small cut down the middle and let the omelet open up naturally. If it doesn’t open perfectly, you can help it along—just like I did in my video!
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
For the final touch, drizzle ketchup and mayonnaise over the top of the omelet. I also sprinkled some sesame seeds to add texture and extra flavor. I also added some veggies and fruits on the side and some leftover dumplings also from Eat Fresh.
