Japanese Rice Omelet

This name of this Japanese comfort food comes from English and means omelet and rice, but omurice (pronounced omuraisu) is so much more than omelet served with rice, as it comes with a hearty gravy and the egg itself is prepared in a unique and very exact way so that when you cut it up, it almost pours over the rice.

Japanese Rice Omelet
Ingredients for Omurice:
Mirin - 1 tbsp. (alternative: dry sherry)
Teriyaki sauce - 1 tbsp.
Soy sauce - 1 tbsp.
Garlic powder - 1/4 tsp.
Ketchup - 1/3 cup
Butter - 1 oz
Small onion - 1/2 (diced)
Ketchup - 1 oz
Eggs - 2 (beaten)
White rice - 2 cups (cooked)
Salt and Pepper - as needed
Method of preparing the Omurice:
  1. Mix Worcestershire sauce, mirin, soy sauce, teriyaki, garlic powder, and ketchup in a pan and heat until the sauce reaches a boil, then stop. If too thick, add water.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pan and add the onion. Fry until soft and lightly browned.
  3. Add ketchup, salt, and pepper into the same pan, and then stir. Finally, add the rice and toss the contents together to evenly distribute the flavors. Plate the rice in an oval shape.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pan and add eggs. Stir with chopsticks and shake the pan vigorously until the eggs are about half cooked.
  5. Open up the edges of the omelet and wait a few seconds. Slide the omelet over the rice and top it up with the sauce.
