Omu-Raisu - Omelet Rice
It seems that every country has a tradition of something like an omelet. The Japanese have refined this to a cultural staple with their instantly recognisable Omu-raisu.
The simplest description is to call this a rice combination, wrapped in an omelet. The main distinctive points are the characteristic elliptical shape and the mass of tomato sauce/ketchup that it is usually drowned in.
The rice contents are made by frying cooked rice with cubed chicken, onions, peas, mushrooms and some more ketchup. This mix is set aside while the omelets are made. For each serving a circular omelet mix of 3 eggs, salt and pepper is poured into a pan with butter over medium heat. Just before this is cooked, some of the rice mix is dropped onto the omelet in a crescent sort of shape. After another minute, the rice and egg should be slightly joined and this is where the skill is needed.
Professionals will flip and gyrate their pan until the omelet is wrapped around the rice. For mere mortals, the easiest way is to fold the omelet over in half, skid it all onto a plate and then gently fine tune the shape until you are happy.
Drown the whole thing in tomato ketchup and get started . This dish makes an excellent TV dinner and will probably be very popular with the whole family.
Note: I think it is legitimate to put anything you like into the rice mix, but don’t tell anyone else I said so.
