This recipe breaks down the process, ensuring even beginners can achieve impressive results.
Omelet Rice Base
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Small Onion
- 1/2 Carrot
- 1/2 Zucchini
- Cooked Rice (your desired amount)
Sauce & Seasoning
- 3 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Ketchup (to taste)
- 3 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- 1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Pinch Parsley Flakes (for garnish, optional)
- 3 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Ketchup (to taste)
- 3 Tbsp Cooking Oil
- 1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Pinch Parsley Flakes (for garnish, optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the omelet rice base. You can prepare it just like you would for a regular omurice. Finely chop the onion, carrot, and zucchini. Heat about 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until softened. Then, add your cooked rice and stir-fry with ketchup to season. Ensure the rice is well-coated and slightly toasted for the best flavor.
Step 2
Now for the star of the show: the omelet! In a bowl, crack 2-3 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Whisk them thoroughly until well combined. Heat 2 Tbsp of cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the whisked egg mixture. Once the bottom starts to set, gently swirl the pan or use chopsticks to move the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, creating delicate folds and a beautiful, slightly uncooked texture. The key to a perfectly moist omelet is to not overcook it! Aim for a glossy, just-set finish. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will cook too quickly.
Step 3
Finally, let’s make the delicious sauce and assemble. In a small saucepan, melt a little butter or heat oil over low heat. Whisk in 1 Tbsp of flour to create a roux, stirring constantly for about a minute until lightly golden and fragrant. Gradually whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and ketchup. Add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired sauce consistency. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. To serve, carefully place the tender omelet over the seasoned rice. Spoon the rich sauce generously over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of parsley flakes for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy your stunning homemade tornado omurice!
