Ingredients
  

For the Fried Rice
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil A versatile cooking medium; mix with sesame oil for extra flavor.
  • 2 stalks Green Onion (white parts) Adds aroma; substitute with leeks for a milder taste.
  • 1 medium Onion Sweetness and depth; yellow or sweet onions work best.
  • 1 medium Carrot Offers sweetness and color; replace with other diced veggies like peas or bell peppers.
  • 1 cup Spam (or meat/veggies of choice) Your protein source; chicken, beef, tofu, or more veggies are great alternatives.
  • 1 cup Button Mushrooms Adds umami; you can also use shiitake or skip them altogether.
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice The heart of the dish; preferably day-old for perfect texture.
  • 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce Adds depth of flavor; opt for low-sodium if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Ketchup Gives sweetness and tang; can substitute with tomato sauce or sweet chili for a twist.
For the Omelette
  • 3 Eggs The base of your omelette; free-range or organic eggs provide richness.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Japanese Omelette Rice
  1. Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the white parts of the green onion and diced onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions become fragrant and translucent.
  2. Next, add the diced carrot, Spam (or your choice of protein), and optional mushrooms to the skillet. Stir everything together, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the carrot softens and the Spam becomes slightly crisp.
  3. Incorporate the day-old cooked rice into the skillet, breaking up any clumps as you stir. Pour in the soy sauce and ketchup, mixing well until everything is coated and heated through, around 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are about 80% set.
  5. Once the omelette is nearly cooked, carefully invert the bowl of rice onto a serving plate, forming a dome. Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette over the rice, securing it in place. Drizzle with ketchup and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Ensure the best texture by using day-old rice; freshly cooked rice can become gummy and mushy during frying.
