You don't need to book a flight to Japan to experience this viral twist on a Western omelette! Bring the flavours of Japan into your home with this surprisingly easy Omurice with Cheese recipe. We'll show you how to get the perfect soft scramble for this delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- Mozzarella cheese, grated
- Salt, to taste
- Steamed or fried rice, to serve
Method
- Prepare your rice and pack into a small bowl, turn out onto your final serving dish to make a dome and set aside.
- Add three eggs to a small bowl and season with salt. Beat well.
- Place a small non-stick pan over medium heat with a little neutral oil.
- Pour your eggs into the pan and using a small spatula stir the eggs from the centre, scraping the cooked egg from the bottom of the pan forming an omelette. As the egg sets, make sure not to scrape the cooked egg from the edges of the pan as this will help fold and seal your omelette.
- Add cheese to the eggs.
- Continue cooking until the eggs begin to set, but are still fluid, like the consistency of lumpy pancake batter. Stop stirring and allow the bottom of the omelette to set (about 10-15 seconds). Then, using your spatula, gently fold one edge of the omelette over, then fold the same edge again to lightly roll, tilting the pan as needed.
- Take the opposite edge and fold that over then gently flip the omelette so its open side is now on the pan. Set again for 10-15 seconds to seal the gap.
- Immediately place the omelette over rice. Repeat the process with the next three eggs.
- To serve, slice lengthways and let the soft scrambled egg interior fall out.
- Egg Tip: For a simplified version, don’t fold the edges over, just let the bottom of the omelette set then place it on top of your pile of rice like a blanket.
