How to Make Mom's Omurice

  1. **Prepare the Rice:** Cook 2 cups of Japanese short-grain rice according to package directions. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. **Make the Omurice Filling:** Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of diced cooked chicken (or substitute with 1 cup cooked ground beef or shrimp), 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots, and 1/2 cup ketchup. Stir-fry for 5 minutes until heated through.
  3. **Stir-fry the Rice:** Add the cooked rice to the skillet. Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and well combined.
  4. **Make the Omelet:** Whisk 3 large eggs with 1 tablespoon of milk and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, swirling the pan to create a thin, even layer. Once the edges are set, but the top is still slightly wet, carefully lift the edges and tilt the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
  5. **Assemble the Omurice:** Spoon the fried rice onto one half of the omelet. Gently fold the other half of the omelet over the rice to enclose it completely.
  6. **Serve:** Slide the omurice onto a plate. Garnish with ketchup art (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy the taste of home!
