Omurice Fried Rice Ingredients- 2 bowls of cooked rice (warm)
- 250g can of peas (drained)
- 250g can of corn (drained)
- 1/2 carrot (finely chopped)
- 1/2 block of ham (finely chopped)
- 3 eggs (beaten)
- 1 Tbsp cooking oil
- Mayonnaise (to taste)
- Mustard sauce (to taste)
Flavorful Pilaf Sauce- 2 Tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp corn syrup
- 2 Tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp corn syrup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped carrots and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until they become translucent, bringing out their natural sweetness.
Step 2
Once the carrots are partially cooked, add the finely chopped ham and stir-fry for another minute to enhance its flavor and aroma.
Step 3
Drain the canned peas and rinse them briefly under hot water to remove any canned taste. Add them to the pan and stir-fry with the other ingredients.
Step 4
Similarly, drain the canned corn and rinse it with hot water. Add it to the pan and stir-fry for about 30 seconds with the peas and ham, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Add the 2 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan with the sautéed vegetables and ham. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry until the rice is well combined with the ingredients, ensuring each grain is coated.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the pilaf sauce ingredients: 2 Tbsp tomato ketchup, 1 tsp hot sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp corn syrup. Mix well to create a balanced sweet and tangy sauce.
Step 7
In a separate non-stick pan, lightly grease with oil and pour in the beaten eggs. Cook over low heat, slowly swirling the pan to create a thin, delicate omelet. Cook until the edges are set but the center is still slightly moist. Be careful not to overcook or burn it.
Step 8
Once the omelet is cooked, carefully slide it onto a plate and let it cool completely. It’s best to handle the omelet when it’s fully cooled to prevent it from tearing. You can gently shape it into a round or semi-circular form while it cools.
Step 9
Shape the fried rice into a mound or dome on a serving plate. Carefully place the cooled omelet over the fried rice, gently draping it to cover the rice completely, creating the signature omurice look. Invert the plate onto the rice, then lift the plate to reveal the omurice.
Step 10
Drizzle mayonnaise and mustard sauce over the omurice according to your preference for a final touch. Your special omurice with Italian pilaf sauce is now ready to be enjoyed!
