Omuraisu Recipe ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ต
Overview:
Omuraisu, also known as Japanese Omelette, is a delightful fusion dish originating from Western-style restaurants in Japan. This recipe, hailing from Taimeiken in Tokyo’s Nihonbashi district, encapsulates the essence of Japanese comfort food, marrying the flavors of tender chicken, savory mushrooms, and fluffy eggs with a hint of tangy ketchup. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or any meal of the day, Omuraisu promises a satisfying culinary experience reminiscent of a bacon and egg breakfast in North America.
Ingredients:
- 30g onions
- 3 eggs
- 1 mushroom
- 30g chicken thighs
- 20g butter
- 60g steamed rice
- 2/3 cup white wine
- 2 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cut chicken thigh into 1cm cubes. Finely chop the onion and thinly slice the mushroom cap. Keep all ingredients separate. |
| 2 | Melt 10g butter in a hot frying pan. Saute the onion, then add chicken and finally the mushroom. Once the onion is partly transparent and the chicken is nearly pink-free, season with the ketchup. |
| 3 | Add 60g cooked rice, the white wine, and season again with some salt and pepper. Saute until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned. Turn off the heat and leave in the pan. |
| 4 | In a bowl, break 3 eggs and add a touch of salt and pepper. Do not beat the egg, just mix it with 10 strokes of a fork or chopsticks. |
| 5 | Melt 10g of butter in a new frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Spread the egg quickly with 3 broad strokes while moving the frying pan back and forth. |
| 6 | When the egg is half done, place the rice and chicken mixture in, offset to one side. Take the frying pan off the heat and fold the free side of the Omuraisu almost all the way over the chicken rice mixture. |
| 7 | Roll the Omuraisu in the pan by raising one side and tapping the handle so that you gradually wrap the rice inside the omelette. Keep rolling slowly until the edges of the Omuraisu are again facing up, and then roll once more onto the plate it is to be served upon. |
| 8 | The Omuraisu should have its edges facing down in the final position, so as to appear to be a regular omelette. |
