Discover the comforting flavors of Japan with Omuraisu Omelette Rice—a delightful fusion of fluffy eggs and savory fried rice wrapped in a golden omelette. This popular Japanese home-cooked dish combines tender chicken, sweet and tangy ketchup rice, and a medley of vegetables like onions, carrots, and peas for a satisfying, well-balanced meal. The silky omelette is made with whisked eggs and a touch of milk for extra creaminess, folded delicately around the flavorful rice filling. Quick to prepare in just 35 minutes, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or an indulgent brunch. Customize your Omuraisu with a drizzle of ketchup or a sprinkle of parsley for a picture-perfect finish that's as delicious as it is Instagram-worthy.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and chicken pieces to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 1 minute.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps, and stir well.
Add ketchup, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir everything together until the rice is evenly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to create a thin, even layer.
Cook the omelette for 1-2 minutes until just set but still slightly runny in the center.
Spoon half of the fried rice mixture onto one side of the omelette and carefully fold the other side over the rice. Gently slide the omuraisu onto a serving plate.
Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, butter, and fried rice to make the second serving.
Optionally, garnish with additional ketchup drizzles or chopped parsley before serving.
