Omurice is a popular dish in Japanese cuisine, which originated in the early 1900s. It is a combination of omelet and fried rice, commonly served for lunch or dinner. The dish is versatile in terms of the filling, ranging from sautéed vegetables, chicken, beef, or seafood. The filling is mixed with ketchup flavored rice and then wrapped in a thin layer of omelet. It is served with a sweet and savory sauce and garnished with finely chopped scallions.

Instructions

1.Boil the diced potato and carrot for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2.In a large pan, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the onion and sauté until softened.
3.Add the red bell pepper and cook until soft, then add the cooked rice, peas, and ketchup, stirring well to combine.
4.Add the boiled potato and carrot, and stir in gently. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5.In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, egg whites, milk, and 1 teaspoon of ketchup. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
6.Heat the remaining butter in a non-stick frying pan until foamy. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread the egg evenly.
7.When the egg is set but still slightly runny on top, spoon the rice mixture onto one side of the egg.
8.Lift the pan and fold the egg over the rice mixture. Slide the omurice onto a plate, cut open the egg to reveal the rice, and serve hot.
