What’s your favorite egg recipe beyond your regular breakfast stuff? My personal favorite is the Japanese classic Omuraisu. This simple and savory comfort food is a must-try. Here’s a guide to making it:
Ingredients
Leftover fried rice (or you can make some) Ketchup Eggs Chicken bouillon and mixed veggies (optional)Preparation
Start by cooking the fried rice to your liking. If you prefer a traditional style, it typically includes chicken or some other meat with light seasoning. However, for added flavor, I like to add chicken bouillon and mixed veggies. After cooking, mix in the ketchup and reduce it to a thicker consistency. Form this into a more or less round shape and place it on a plate. Then, create an omelette around the fried rice to wrap it like a warm, cozy blanket. You can even add a bit more ketchup on top.
