Main Ingredients- 1 carrot (small size, finely diced)
- 1 zucchini (finely diced)
- 20 sausages (cut into small pieces)
- 4 bowls of warm cooked rice
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- 8 eggs
- Ketchup (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Wash and peel the carrot, then dice it into small pieces, about 0.5 cm in size. Dicing them small ensures they cook evenly and quickly.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and dice it into similarly small pieces, about 0.5 cm, matching the carrot size. Zucchini cooks quickly, so dicing it small helps it blend well with other ingredients.
Step 3
Cut the 20 sausages into small, bite-sized pieces, perfect for kids. Feel free to add other ingredients like ham or bacon for extra flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the fried rice. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced carrots and stir-fry for about 2 minutes to bring out their natural sweetness.
Step 5
When the carrots are about 80% cooked and slightly tender, add the diced zucchini and continue to stir-fry together. Since zucchini cooks fast, it’s best to add it with the carrots. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Once the zucchini starts to turn translucent, add the cut sausages and stir-fry everything together for about 2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. Sautéing until the sausages are lightly browned adds extra deliciousness.
Step 7
Add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce to the sautéed vegetables and sausages to enhance their savory flavor. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds to allow the sauce to coat the ingredients evenly. Taste at this point; if it seems bland, it’s best to adjust the seasoning after adding the rice.
Step 8
Add 4 bowls of warm cooked rice to the pan. Using a spatula, gently break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry until the rice is evenly mixed with all the ingredients. Continue to stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the rice is fluffy and well combined. Adjust seasoning with more oyster sauce if needed.
Step 9
Now for the omurice’s signature egg crepe! Crack 8 eggs into a bowl, remove the chalazae (the white stringy bits), and whisk thoroughly with a fork or whisk until smooth. Lightly grease a non-stick pan over low heat, pour the egg mixture thinly and evenly, and cook until set. Aim for a thin crepe that can be folded in half without breaking.
Step 10
Plate the prepared fried rice, shaping it into a nice mound. Carefully place the cooked egg crepe over the rice, gently folding it to cover the mound. Finally, drizzle ketchup in a zigzag pattern or create a heart shape, according to your preference. Your visually appealing and deliciously satisfying omurice is ready! Enjoy your meal!
