Main Ingredients- 1 bowl cooked rice (warm)
- 1/2 onion (small)
- 1 large potato
- 2 eggs
Seasonings & Others- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2 pinches salt
- 2 dashes black pepper
- 2 dashes sesame seeds
- Ketchup (to taste)
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil
- 2 pinches salt
- 2 dashes black pepper
- 2 dashes sesame seeds
- Ketchup (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the pan is warm before you begin cooking.
Step 2
Wash the potato and onion thoroughly. Finely dice them into small, uniform pieces. (Tip: You can add shredded carrots for extra color and nutrition, but feel free to omit them based on family preferences. Substituting sweet potato for regular potato will add a touch of sweetness.)
Step 3
Add the diced potato and onion to the preheated frying pan. Stir-fry over medium-high heat until they become slightly crispy and golden brown. This process enhances their natural sweetness and texture. Season with 2 pinches of salt and 2 dashes of black pepper during this stage.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are somewhat cooked, add 1 bowl of warm cooked rice to the pan and stir-fry everything together. (Temporarily turn off the heat to ensure the rice and vegetables are evenly mixed, then taste. The rice will likely dilute the seasoning.) If the rice tastes bland, add a little more salt to your preference. A dash of oyster sauce or soy sauce can also enhance the flavor.
Step 5
When the fried rice is ready, firmly press it into a small rice bowl. Packing it tightly will help it hold its shape when inverted.
Step 6
Carefully invert the filled rice bowl onto a serving plate, then gently lift the bowl. This will create a neat, rounded shape for the rice. (This is our family’s special touch!) Sprinkle 2 dashes of sesame seeds over the rice for an extra nutty flavor.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to prepare the egg. Lightly grease a clean frying pan with a little cooking oil and heat it over medium-low heat.
Step 8
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and gently whisk them with a fork or chopsticks until the yolks and whites are just combined. (★ Important Tip: As soon as you pour the egg into the pan and the edges begin to set, reduce the heat to low or turn it off briefly. Cooking the egg until it’s just set, rather than fully cooked, will result in a softer, more tender omelet layer.)
Step 9
Carefully place the softly cooked egg over the shaped rice. Finally, generously drizzle ketchup over the top to your liking. Your delicious homemade omurice is ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately while warm.
