OMURICE
My take on the popular Japanese home-cooking dish, omurice. It can also be made with demi-glace instead of ketchup. Garnish with additional ketchup.

Steps:
- Mix ketchup, memmi, mirin together in a small bowl.
- Melt butter over medium-high heat in a frying pan. Stir-fry onion in the butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, vegetables, and 1/2 the ketchup mixture. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cooked rice and remaining ketchup mixture. Stir-fry until rice is coated and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Divide fried rice mixture between 2 plates and mold each into compact, oblong shapes.
- Whisk 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon milk for 1 omelet together in a small bowl. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Pour beaten egg mixture into the hot pan; let cook for 30 seconds. Lift the edges of the omelet so that the uncooked egg runs under the cooked edges and comes into contact with the hot skillet. Shake and tilt the skillet to move the uncooked egg. Repeat until the top is set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Lay the omelet on top of 1 fried rice mixture and tuck under. Repeat with remaining 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon milk for the second omelet; lay over remaining fried rice mixture and tuck.

MY OMURICE
We found Japanese omurice when searching for a new Meatless Monday dish. I made it my 'Om' by adding more veggies. In Minnesota it is common to have ketchup with your eggs, but if that seems odd, just try it, the flavors go really well together.

OMURICE
Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet and saute chicken. Add onion, garlic and corn in the skillet and saute together until softened. Add steamed rice in the pan and stir-fry together. Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Stop the heat and add ketchup and pasta sauce and mix well. Set the seasoned rice aside. Heat about 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Beat two eggs in a small bowl and pour the egg in the skillet. Quickly spread the egg and make a round omelet. Place 1/4 of the seasoned rice in the middle of the omelet and fold top and bottom sides of omelet over the rice. Cover the frying pan with a plate and carefully turn them over to place the omerice on the plate. Repeat this process to make four omelet rice. Put some ketchup on top of omurice just before serving.
Tips:
- To make fluffy rice, wash the rice until the water runs clear, then soak it in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking.
- When cooking the rice, add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of oil to the water. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking together.
- For the omelet, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then add the butter. Swirl the butter around the pan to coat it, then pour in the eggs. Cook the omelet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- To assemble the omurice, place a portion of rice on a plate. Top with the omelet, and then smother with ketchup or demi-glace sauce.
Conclusion:
Omurice is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, it is a great meal for both beginners and experienced cooks alike.
