Omelet rice

Overview

You can often see omurice in Japanese dramas and anime, and the shape is very cute. The ingredients of omurice are very common. An omelette basically consists of the three most basic elements: fried rice, egg skin and tomato sauce. It's not that easy to make a beautiful omurice. Omurice is one of those foods that looks very simple and becomes useless as soon as you make it. There is no doubt that the most difficult step in making omurice is wrapping the fried rice in the egg skin. This is really a technical job. If the egg skin is accidentally broken, the perfect omurice will be broken. Although the ingredients have not changed, the failed omelette rice will make you feel very frustrated and feel that the food is not delicious. Our omelette rice today is the simplest half-moon-shaped omurice. Compared with other shapes, it is very simple and basically will not fail. Compared with ordinary fried rice, the fried rice of omurice needs to be fried a little moister and glutinous, that is, it should not be so grainy, so that it can be better wrapped in the egg skin. The egg skin is the most important part of an omelette rice, which directly determines the success or failure of the omurice rice. Japanese omelette rice likes to fry the egg skin until it is half-cooked and tender. I personally prefer the egg skin that is golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. An omelette rice requires at least 3 eggs to make the egg skin to wrap the fried rice. Let’s take a look at how to make this [omelette rice] together, shall we?
