Essential Ingredients- 450g Warm Cooked Rice (approx. 2.5 bowls)
- 4 Fresh Eggs
- 1 Medium Onion
- 1/4 Carrot
- 1 Fluffy Potato
- 1 Stalk Green Onion (mainly the white part)
- 1/2 Zucchini
- 1/2 Bell Pepper (any color)
- Pinch of Fine Salt
- Pinch of Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- A touch of Oyster Sauce for umami
- Generous amount of Sweet and Tangy Tomato Ketchup
- Sufficient Cooking Oil for sautéing
- A little Sesame Oil for finishing
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s wash and prepare the vegetables that will make our omelette rice delicious. Finely chop the green onion for aroma. Dice the potato, zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, and onion into small, bite-sized pieces (about 0.5cm). It’s important to dice the potato finely, as larger pieces will take longer to cook.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a generous amount of cooking oil. Add all the chopped vegetables and stir-fry them quickly. Sauté until the vegetables become translucent and their natural sweetness is released. Cooking over high heat helps maintain the vegetables’ texture and prevents them from becoming watery, making the dish tastier.
Step 3
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, add the warm cooked rice. Using a spatula, break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry until well combined. Drizzle in a little sesame oil for a nutty aroma, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the rice. It’s crucial to stir-fry diligently so that each grain of rice is coated with vegetables and seasonings.
Step 4
Taste the fried rice. If it seems a bit bland or you desire more depth of flavor, add 1-2 teaspoons of oyster sauce and stir-fry again. Oyster sauce will enrich the taste, making it more sophisticated. Continue to stir-fry until the rice and ingredients are well integrated.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to make the creamy omelette, the highlight of our dish! Crack the 4 fresh eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of fine salt and black pepper. Using chopsticks or a whisk, gently beat the eggs in one direction until the yolks and whites are well combined, creating a smooth egg mixture. Be careful not to whisk too vigorously, as this can create excess foam.
Step 6
Lightly grease a clean pan with cooking oil and heat it over low heat. Pour about half of the beaten egg mixture into the pan and swirl the pan to spread it thinly and evenly. Maintaining low heat is key to prevent the egg from burning.
Step 7
When the edges of the egg begin to set and the center starts to look softly cooked, carefully fold the omelette in half or gently roll it using a spatula. Cook the other side until lightly golden brown, then carefully slide it out of the pan. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the omelette tough; aim for a soft and tender texture.
Step 8
Place the prepared fried rice onto a nice serving dish. Gently lay the freshly made soft omelette on top of the rice. Finally, use tomato ketchup to draw a fun shape for the kids or create a zigzag pattern over the omelette, and your ‘Colorful and Delicious Tomato Ketchup Omelette Rice’ is complete! Enjoy your meal!
