Omurice – Japanese Omelette Rice

Omurice… Omuretsu Raisu 🙂

“Omurice” is a Japanese omelette rice dish. “Omu” is short for “omuretsu” (The Japa pronunciation of “omelette”) and “rice” – the sweet, pan-fried rice cooked with ketchup and chicken. It’s a much fancier way of serving scrambled eggs drizzled with ketchup (holy yum… I love that stuff!) And the Omurice only takes about 20 minutes to cook! I’ve also served it with tonkatsu sauce and Japanese curry… to DIE FOR!

From one of my favorite animes: Koufuku Graffiti

Believe it or not, I never had omurice in my seven years that I lived in Japan. The first time I’ve ever heard of this dish was sometime in the 90s when I rented the Japanese movie “Tampopo” from Blockbuster Video on Lemont Road in Darien, IL (one of those useless information I should delete to make room for more important stuff… like my own phone number). This is the only scene that remains in my head from the movie and I am totally grateful that someone posted it on YouTube for me to enjoy over and over again…

 

Wasn’t that wild? And it’s really IS that quick and simple to make!

And I want to introduce you to this next video. It’s been viewed over 7 MILLION times… 5 million of those views were quite possibly from me!!! A chef in Kyoto demonstrates his most brilliant omurice-making skill that is rivaled by NONE! He cooks his fried rice… followed by the most beautiful French omelet… slides the omelet onto the rice… and finally slices through the top of the omelet, releasing the custardy, soft-cooked eggs!


2:25 is when the magic happens. Sit tight, because it’s… beautiful.
 

It looks almost as magical on Koufuku Graffiti too… *sigh*

Back to reality… tho I have yet to reach the “Japanese Iron-Chef” caliber, I figured out a way to make this soft-cooked omurice without having to master a rolled French omelet. I simply cooked the eggs so they’re set on the bottom and still runny on top… and let that baby slide over my fried rice! #yougogirl

Tadaa! Carmen’s soft-cooked omurice!

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Japanese
Keyword: eggs
Servings: 2

Ingredients
 

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 small onion diced
  • 1 small clove garlic minced
  • 3 ounces diced skinless boneless chicken thigh
  • 1.5 cups cooked rice
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup

Instructions

  • In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs, salt, and heavy cream until well combined.
  • Add oil to a large, nonstick pan, and add onions and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onions are soft and semi-translucent.
  • Turn heat up to high, add chicken and continue cooking until the chicken has warmed.
  • Add rice to pan and use a spatula to break up any clumps. Add ketchup and stir-fry until everything is combined. Season the rice with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a small bowl to mold the rice and arrange on plate. Put pan back on the heat and pour egg mixture into pan.
  • Gently stir up the egg curds with a spatula. Cover the pan with a lid and turn down the heat to medium low.
  • The eggs are finished when they're no longer runny, but the top surface still appears wet.
  • Slide the egg from the pan onto the rice. Drizzle ketchup, or any other sauces of your choice!
