  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Servings: 1 High Protein Omelette

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
30g Onions
6 Eggs
1 Mushroom
30g Chicken Thighs
10g Butter
40g Steamed Rice
2/3 cup White Wine
2 1/2 tbsp Ketchup
To taste Salt
To taste Pepper

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients:

    • Begin by cutting the chicken thigh into 1cm cubes.
    • Finely chop the onion and thinly slice the mushroom cap.
    • Keep all ingredients separate for now.
  2. Saute Chicken and Vegetables:

    • Melt 5g of butter in a hot frying pan.
    • Saute the chopped onion until partly transparent, then add the chicken cubes.
    • Once the chicken is nearly cooked through, add the sliced mushroom.
    • Season the mixture with ketchup, stirring to combine.
    • Add the cooked rice and white wine, and season with salt and pepper.
    • Saute until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly browned. Turn off the heat and leave in the pan.
  3. Prepare Omelette:

    • In a separate bowl, combine 4 egg whites (discard the yolks) with the 2 whole eggs, salt, and pepper.
    • Gently mix the eggs with a fork or chopsticks, incorporating air for a fluffy texture.
    • Melt 5g of butter in another frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Pour in the egg mixture, spreading it quickly and evenly across the pan with broad strokes.
  4. Assemble Omuraisu Omelette:

    • When the egg is half-cooked, place the chicken and rice mixture on one side of the omelette.
    • Remove the pan from the heat and fold the empty side of the omelette over the filling.
    • Roll the omelette in the pan by raising one side and tapping the handle to gradually wrap the rice inside.
    • Continue rolling until the edges of the omelette are facing up, then transfer it onto a serving plate.
    • Ensure the omelette is rolled with its edges facing down for a visually appealing presentation.
