Ingredients

  • 3 pcs Eggs
  • Mozarella Cheese

Fried Rice

  • Vegetable or Canola Oil For sauteing
  • 1 stalk Scallions Chopped
  • 1/4 of Onion Minced
  • 1/4 of Carrot Minced
  • 1 pc Boneless Chicken Thigh Cubed
  • 2 pcs Eggs Scrambled (Optional)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce

Omurice Sauce

  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Dashida
  • 1/4 tsp Capsaicin Powder Optional
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 3 tbsp Heavy Cream
  • 9 tbsp Milk
  • Salt and Pepper To taste

Instructions

Fried Rice

  • Saute scallions and chicken with a bit of oil. When it’s halfway cooked, throw in the onion and carrots. Saute for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the rice, sesame oil, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Mix thoroughly, breaking the rice and letting it dry up.
  • Add egg and mix thoroughly. Take off the heat and set aside.

Omurice Sauce

  • Combine marinara sauce, water, ketchup, sugar, curry powder, dashida, capsaicin powder, and butter. Mix, let boil in low heat, and allow to thicken up a bit.
  • Add cream, milk, and let boil in medium heat.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Making Omelette Rice

  • Spread out the egg evenly in a nonstick pan. When 70% is cooked and is holding shape, put cheese in the middle.
  • Place fried rice in the middle and then wrap it with the egg.
  • From the middle, slowly roll the omelette to the side of the pan until it can be transferred to a plate.
  • Pour sauce into the omelette and enjoy.

Notes

  • If wrapping the fried rice is too hard, you can simply make a soft scramble curdled or tornado-shaped. Top in a bowl of cupped fried rice, then pour the sauce.
