Omurice Recipe: First Time To Cook

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.

Marius’ Reaction to my Omurice Recipe

 

@mommypehpot No bashing ha, first time to cook omurice dahil request ni Marius ???????? #ommurice #mommypehpot #eggchallenge #almusalpinoy ♬ spin u round – Nafeesisboujee

As you can see in the video, Marius was so happy! Even though it was my first time cooking Omurice, I felt like a chef thanks to his reaction. Moments like this make cooking so rewarding, especially when you see how much your loved ones appreciate it. It was a bit challenging at first, but it was definitely worth it.

If you’re thinking of trying omurice at home, go for it! It’s a simple yet satisfying dish, and the joy on your family’s faces will make it all worthwhile.

Artificial Grass Deck Tile Review

I have been looking for artificial grass deck tile for our indoor playground. Swerte ko, I found some in a trading store in Taytay (The App Tradestore), unfortunately, kulang sya sa space ko. I decided to try out some artificial grass deck tiles I found on TikTok, priced at ₱61 per tile. While I was hoping for high-quality tiles, my experience revealed a few concerns you should be aware of.

A Closer Look at the Online Artificial Grass Deck Tile

The artificial grass deck tiles I ordered from TikTok’s Yellow Basket store had grass stapled onto a rubber base. Right off the bat, this raised a red flag for me. The fact that the grass was merely stapled onto the rubber is a major downside. During assembly, I pricked my fingers several times on the exposed staples, which were not securely fastened. Not only does this make the process of connecting the tiles difficult, but it also poses a safety risk.

 

@mommypehpotNaka stapler lang yung grass♬ original sound – MommyPehpot

In terms of grass appearance, the surface wasn’t too thin, which was a plus. However, the tiles didn’t align seamlessly when placed side by side. The noticeable gaps between the tiles made the overall look less appealing, especially when used as flooring. If you’re aiming for a smooth, seamless green surface, these tiles might not meet your expectations.

Assembly and Safety Concerns

One thing I appreciated was that these artificial grass deck tiles were easy to put together. However, the stapling issue mentioned earlier became a significant problem. The staples were not secure and easily lifted when the tiles were moved or stepped on, which could be dangerous, especially in areas where children play. Because of this, I do not recommend using these tiles in a playground or any space where safety is a concern.

Where Can Artificial Grass Deck Tiles Be Used?

After assembling and testing them, I quickly realized that these artificial grass deck tiles were not suitable for my deck. I ended up removing them and going back to my original wood tiles. That said, if you’re considering using these tiles for wall decor or in a low-traffic area, they could work. Just be cautious about the staples, as they can cause injuries if not properly secured.

Final Thoughts on Artificial Grass Deck Tile from TikTok

To wrap it up, my experience with these artificial grass deck tiles from TikTok was less than ideal. While the tiles are easy to assemble and the grass isn’t too thin, the fact that the grass is stapled to the rubber backing is a serious drawback. The staples not only made the tiles difficult to handle but also posed a safety risk. Additionally, the lack of a seamless appearance made them unsuitable for flooring, especially in high-traffic areas.

If you’re planning to use artificial grass deck tiles for decorative purposes, like on a wall, they might be fine. But for outdoor flooring, especially in areas where safety and durability matter, I would recommend looking for better alternatives.

The Ultimate Back-to-School Guide for Moms: Tips and Tricks to Save Money and Stay Organized

Hello, fellow mommies and daddies? Back-to-school na!! And though excited tayong lahat, back-to-school season also comes with its fair share of stress and expenses. But don’t worry, as a mom of 6 kids with 2 college students,  I’ve got you covered with some practical tips to help you save money, stay organized, and make this transition smooth and fun. Let’s turn the back-to-school hustle into an enjoyable experience for both you and your kids!

Stretch Your Budget with Smart Reuse and DIY

One of the best ways to save money during the back-to-school season is by reusing and recycling items from previous years. This is most effective kapag maraming kang anak na gaya ko. Here’s how you can make the most out of what you already have:

Check for usable supplies like bag, old notebook, old pencils and the likes

Check for Usable Supplies: Before buying new items, check what school supplies you already have. You might find notebooks with unused pages, pens that still work, or even last year’s backpack that’s still in good condition. Even used pencils can still be use so save these pencils kahit maliit na lang.

DIY Projects: Get creative and personalize old items. Use stickers, patches, or fabric paint to give old backpacks or pencil cases a fresh, new look. It’s a fun activity to do with your kids, too!

Inspect school uniforms for any that still fit and are in good condition

Uniform and shoes Check: Inspect school uniforms for any that still fit and are in good condition. Minor repairs like sewing a button or fixing a hem can make old uniforms look brand new. Using laundry detergents specializing in making clothes look new or whiter can also be a good trick for old uniforms. For shoes, if it still fits, no need to buy a new one. Shoe shine shops or repair shops are everywhere to help you make an old shoe look new.

Smooth Transition Tips for Back-to-School

Getting back into the school routine can be challenging, but with these tips, you’ll have a smoother transition:

Establish a Routine: Set a consistent sleep schedule and morning routine a few weeks before school starts. This helps kids adjust and makes mornings less chaotic.

Organize a Station: Create a designated area for school items like bags, shoes, and supplies. This keeps everything in one place and makes the morning rush easier.

Plan Healthy Breakfasts: Ensure your kids have a complete and balanced breakfast. A nutritious start to the day boosts their energy and concentration levels, setting them up for a successful day at school.

What is a balanced breakfast? A complete and balanced breakfast must include at least one from the 3 group categories: go, glow, grow. Carbohydrates for energy booster, protein for muscle and tissue repair, fruits/vegetables for fiber and other nutrients. Hindi pwedeng rice or pandesal lang, make sure may palaman na meat or egg and add gulay of fruits. You can check my sandwich collection for a complete and balanced breakfast meal. 

Teach Financial Responsibility

Teaching kids about money management is crucial. Here’s how you can start:

Give Allowance in Full: Give older kids their allowance in full to help them learn how to budget and manage their money for a month. 

  • How to compute your child’s allowance? Consider how many breaks they have and if they are commuting or not. 
  • How much allowance do we give to our kids? Depending on their school level, for Grade 3, we don’t give him money, for Grades 8 and up, we give depending on how many breaks they have and we usually give every week. For college students, we give them a monthly allowance. 

Encourage Savings with Maya: Open a savings account with Maya and encourage your kids to save a portion of their allowance. Maganda din sya na pang transfer ng pera between you and your kids di ba?

Pack Snacks and Water: Encourage your kids to bring baon, even if it’s just water and snacks. This not only saves money but also ensures they have healthy options throughout the day.

Conclusion

Back-to-school season is an exciting time for both parents and kids. With these practical tips, you can make the most of this period without the stress. So, embrace the hustle, stay organized, and enjoy the excitement of a new school year! Happy back-to-school season, everyone!
