Main Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp potato starch (or cornstarch)
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin)
- 1 bowl of warm rice
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped carrots
- 2 Tbsp finely minced onion
Fried Rice Seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1 Tbsp ketchup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the batter for the egg net. Crack 2 fresh eggs into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of potato starch and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine. Cooking wine helps to eliminate any eggy smell and adds a tender texture. Gently mix with chopsticks or a whisk, ensuring you break down the egg white strands for a smoother consistency. For an even silkier batter, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer this smooth egg mixture into a sauce bottle or a container that’s easy to squeeze.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to cook the egg net. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly coat it with cooking oil, almost like a sheen. Be careful not to use too much oil, as it can prevent the net from forming properly. Using the sauce bottle, drizzle the egg mixture onto the heated pan in a thin, zigzag pattern to create a net-like appearance. Before the egg is fully cooked, gently lift the pan to help shape the net. Cook only one side until it’s just set, then carefully slide it out of the pan to keep its shape.
Step 3
Next, let’s make the fried rice. Using the same pan or a clean one, heat a little cooking oil over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add the finely chopped carrots and minced onion. Sauté them until they become translucent and fragrant. Then, add 1 bowl of warm rice. Use a spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry it with the vegetables until it’s fluffy.
Step 4
Time to season the fried rice. Once the rice is well-fried, season it with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of pepper to remove any unwanted odors. Finally, add 1 tablespoon of ketchup and mix it thoroughly with the rice until it’s evenly coated. Stir-frying until the ketchup coats each grain of rice will result in delicious ketchup fried rice. Feel free to adjust the amount of ketchup to your preference.
Step 5
Finally, let’s assemble the omurice beautifully. Carefully place the prepared egg net onto a plate or bowl. Spoon the delicious ketchup fried rice onto the center of the egg net. Gently fold the egg net around the rice to create a neat package. The key is to handle the delicate egg net gently to prevent it from tearing! With these steps, your charming and tasty Egg Net Omurice will be complete. You can garnish with parsley flakes or add extra sauce if desired.
