Omurice, a beloved fusion of Western omelette and Japanese fried rice, is a staple comfort food in Japan. This simplified recipe allows you to enjoy the essence of omurice using only non-perishable ingredients, making it accessible anytime you crave a taste of Japan.
Instructions:
Prepare the Fried Rice:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the pre-cooked rice, breaking up any clumps.
- Stir in the dried mixed vegetables (rehydrated according to the package instructions) and canned chicken (drained). Cook until heated through.
- Season the mixture with soy sauce and ketchup to taste, mixing well. Transfer to a plate and shape into an oval mound.
2. Make the Omelette:
- Whisk the powdered eggs with water (as per packet instructions) to create the egg mixture. Heat a little oil in the same skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to form a thin omelette. Cook until the edges start to lift and the center is almost set.
3. Assemble the Omurice:
- Carefully lay the omelette over the mound of fried rice. Use the skillet’s edge to help fold the omelette around the rice, or simply slide it on top for a more casual presentation.
4. Serve:
- Drizzle additional ketchup on top of the omelette in a zigzag pattern. Garnish with freeze-dried parsley for color.
