Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Chicken thigh 150g
- Onion 1/4 medium
- Shiitake mushrooms 2
- Green beans 3
- Cooked rice 400g
- Eggs 4
Seasonings
- Butter 30g
- Vegetable oil 2 tsp
- [A] Ketchup 4 tbsp
- [A] Soy sauce 1/2 tsp
- [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1/2 tsp
- [B] Butter 10g
- [B] Ketchup 4 tbsp
- [B] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1.5 tbsp
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Sugar (to taste)
- Parsley (for garnish)
Steps
- Finely chop 1/4 onion.
- Finely chop 2 shiitake mushrooms.
- Finely chop 3 green beans.
- Cut 150g chicken thigh into 1cm cubes.
- Melt 10g butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, season with salt (to taste) and pepper (to taste), and stir-fry until the color changes.
- Add the chopped onion, shiitake mushrooms, and green beans. Sprinkle with salt (to taste) and pepper (to taste), and stir-fry until the vegetables are softened.
- Add 400g warm cooked rice and mix, breaking up any clumps.
- Add the combined seasonings [A] 4 tbsp ketchup, 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine). Stir and mix over medium heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt (to taste) and pepper (to taste) to create the chicken rice.
- Crack 4 eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar, and mix well, breaking up the egg whites.
- In a separate frying pan (about 22cm diameter), melt 1 tsp vegetable oil and 10g butter.
- Pour in half of the beaten eggs (2 eggs) all at once. Initially, stir like making scrambled eggs, scraping the cooked edges towards the center, and cook until semi-scrambled. (Key Tip! If the pan becomes too hot, cool the bottom with a wet towel to prevent sticking.)
- Place half of the chicken rice in the center of the cooked egg. Use a rubber spatula to fold the egg from the far side towards you over the rice, then slide it towards the side of the pan.
- Cover the pan with a plate, flip it over to unmold the omurice onto the plate, and shape it with a paper towel.
- Repeat the process with the remaining egg and chicken rice for the second serving.
- In the same clean frying pan, combine [B] 10g butter, 4 tbsp ketchup, 1.5 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine). Cook over low heat, stirring, to create the butter-ketchup sauce. (Key Tip! The butter adds richness, and cooking the ketchup reduces its acidity and enhances its aroma.)
- Pour the sauce over the plated omurice. Garnish with parsley (for garnish), if desired.
