How to make omelet rice

Preparing chicken rice and eggs

You can make the chicken rice the same day or the day before. Cut the carrots and onions into 5mm cubes, stir-fry them with the chicken, season with salt and pepper, then add ketchup and butter to make chicken rice. * See also how to make chicken rice .

Since you’ll be making one egg at a time for the omelet rice, crack two eggs into a bowl first. Add 2 pinches of salt and mix thoroughly with chopsticks (refer to the photo for the pinch of salt).

*While moving your chopsticks from side to side, scrape the bottom of the bowl with your chopsticks to mix thoroughly until there are no lumps of white.

How to fry/wrap eggs for omelet rice

(If the chicken rice is cold, warm it up.) Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and spread the oil to the edges.

Once hot, add the egg mixture all at once, immediately spreading it throughout the pan.

Gently swirl the center part of the egg mixture with chopsticks around the center, where it is difficult to cook, about 2 times, then tilt the egg mixture to make sure there are no holes. When the eggs are half-cooked, turn off the heat .

Looking from the handle of the frying pan, place 1/2 of the chicken rice on the side slightly further back than half of the circle (turn the heat to low), then gently cover the chicken rice with the egg from the front side.

*In the photo above, the chicken rice is spread out a little, but it would be best if you spread it out in the shape of a rugby ball. It’s OK if the eggs break a little, but if you find it difficult to do so, use a spatula or similar.

Move the omelet rice to the exact opposite position from the handle (if it is difficult to move, use a spatula etc.), lift the handle vertically, and transfer the omelet rice to a plate.

At this time, transfer the egg so that the open part is facing down, so that the cut part of the egg is not visible on the omelet rice on the plate. If the shape is not good, cover it with kitchen paper and press it with your hands to adjust the shape.
