Quick and Easy Omurice (Rice-filled Omelette)
This is one of my favorite comfort foods! Popping all of the ingredients into the rice cooker takes no time at all, and you’re left with this warm, soft and super delicious meal that you can eat while snuggling up with a blanket on your couch. If ham isn’t your thing, you could always substitute some canned tuna or salmon, or keep it completely vegetarian! If you’re making this for a friend or loved one, you can be creative with the ketchup squiggle at the end, and draw little hearts or write a little message on the omelet instead! The style that I filmed this video in was inspired by Nigella Lawson, whose cooking shows I love SO MUCH, and the unique mood and atmosphere in all of her shows is something that I really want to try and emulate in my videos one day.
Quick and Easy Omurice (Rice-filled Omelet)
Ingredients
- 80 ml short-grain rice washed
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3-4 tbsp ketchup
- 1/4 onion minced
- 1/8 cup frozen corn
- 1/8 cup frozen peas
- 1/8 cup ham diced
- salt & pepper
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- ketchup for decorating the omurice
Instructions
- Place the washed rice, as much water as needed, butter, ketchup, onion, corn, peas, ham and some salt and pepper into the rice cooker pot, and mix together. Then set the rice cooker to cook on the White Rice or Quick Cooking function. Fluff the rice with a rice spatula when it is ready, and set aside.
- Beat the eggs, milk and some salt and pepper together until the egg whites have completely broken up and the egg is slightly foamy. Pour half of the egg mixture into a non-stick frying pan and cook on medium to medium-low until the egg is completely set. Spoon some of the rice mixture on top, and wrap the edges of the omelette around the rice. Then flip this onto a plate, and shape it into an oval. Covering it with a paper towel will make reshaping it much easier! You could also spoon the rice into a bowl and then flip the egg on top, as in the photo. I’m terrible with working with omelets (I always seem to tear them), so this is how I usually serve it.
- Then drizzle some ketchup over top, and serve!
