  • [jaunty music]

  • Hi everybody! Today let's make a delicious one bowl meal.

  • Very simple, easy recipe. And it's called "omurice."

  • Omelette plus rice.

  • When I was young in Korea, the first time I tasted this omurice I couldn't believe so tasty and pretty!

  • We make omelette and stir-fried rice and this omlette is on top of the rice.

  • Or sometimes wrapped. I used to make this all the time for my children.

  • Especially their lunchbox. Just only rice is not enough.

  • I want to add a lot of vegetables and also sometime ham, or sausage.

  • Or sometimes pork or beef.

  • I like to fill it up with as many ingredients as I can

  • so that my loved family will be energized at school and then study hard and focus on the teacher! [laughs]

  • I will make this just like my old days.

  • You will be so surprised how simple it is. First I'm making rice.

  • White fluffy rice I'm making right now and then we need two pans.

  • One pan is to stir fry all vegetables and sausage. [chopping sound] So I washed all my ingredients.

  • So I'm going to cut it up.

  • So I'll just cut it up...

  • Small pieces.

  • I like to fill this cup with green bell pepper and red bell pepper.

  • So one cup.

  • Both together, around six ounces.

  • And this is the same...

  • So this is, we made one cup.

  • And then I will put it here.

  • My rice is done.

  • Wow, nice.

  • And then, I'm using celery. Just a little bit.

  • Because celery has a really good flavor.

  • Smells good.

  • This is around a quarter cup.

  • Carrot also around a quarter cup.

  • This little cute, cubed carrots.

  • And then, white mushrooms. I'm using five for one person.

  • I washed and dried.

  • Cut just two times.

  • This guy is small. One time!

  • Next, onion. Onion is very important. Onion tastes sweet and crispy, and when you stir fry with rice

  • and really goes well. So when you make any stir fried rice don't skip onion.

  • Four or five ounces.

  • Around three quarter cup.

  • Just we need some kind of spicy kick.

  • If you make this for really young children who can't eat spicy food, just skip this green chili pepper.

  • Look at this green chili pepper! Huge! This is hot, long green chili pepper

  • in America, in New York area, even L.A. they sell everywhere. So this is very spicy.

  • I like to use just around half.

  • This amount. So you can use just one green chili pepper, spicy green chili pepper, or skip it.

  • This is optional.

  • This is basil leaf. Later I will garnish with this.

  • So, and then garlic.

  • One garlic clove.

  • You can mince or cut like this.

  • And next sausage or ham.

  • Also cut.

  • Into chunks.

  • Four ounce. Four ounce sausage.

  • Next is my secret ingredient. Whenever I make omurice I use this. They love it.

  • This is: cheddar cheese.

  • So chunk of cheddar cheese and I'm just stash inside of omurice.

  • Chunk...

  • Put it here.

  • And we need butter one tablespoon.

  • Butter. Unsalted butter.

  • Let's stir fry everything. Rice and vegetables, sausage, everything except for a few items.

  • Let's make really delicious omurice.

  • A little bit of rice with lots of lots of stuff inside.

  • Let's add butter.

  • And sausage.

  • And garlic...

  • Butter, garlic, and sausage all of this flavor is mixing!

  • And then add all vegetables.

  • So this is a quarter teaspoon salt.

  • Black pepper, ground black pepper, around half a teaspoon.

  • Nice, beautiful!

  • And then we need rice.

  • Rice just one cup.

  • I think one cup is less than one bowl.

  • That's enough.

  • I will bring my ketchup.

  • This is also ketchup, I like to later drizzle with this.

  • But this amount of omurice, we need two tablespoons ketchup.

  • One, two.

  • Looks really delicious!

  • Let it cook and then rice is a little crunchy.

  • Let me taste to see if I need more ketchup.

  • Very good!

  • Goog, good!

  • And then, done.

  • About around this amount I will add this.

  • Cheese.

  • Two, three, four hiding some treasure!

  • Yeah, push down to make a shape.

  • And then green chili pepper.

  • Also another of my hidden secret here. [laughs]

  • Rice is done, set aside.

  • And then, let's do omelette.

  • Two eggs.

  • And then I will add two pinches.

  • What? Two pinches salt!

  • Two pinches!

  • And don't be surprised! I will add quarter teaspoon sugar.

  • Sugar in the Raw®.

  • And mix well.

  • Let's turn on.

  • When you are busy, you don't have to do this, strain this.

  • But today I'm making this video, nice video, so I'm going to go through my strainer.

  • So make it really evenly yellow.

  • This was is more pretty.

  • Pan is heated, I will add some oil, just one teaspoon.

  • And turn down the heat to low. Medium-low.

  • Wipe off some.

  • Just like when I made gyeran-jjidan. [sizzling]

  • We need a nonstick pan. This is my treasure nonstick pan.

  • I have to all the time hide somewhere, only I know.

  • So see? This egg is not flowing any more.

  • Very low heat.

  • Everything is yellow! My egg omelette is yellow, me, yellow! This guy is yellow.

  • Serve with yellow pickled radish, danmuji.

  • Put the plate here.

  • And to go to the center, this way...

  • Gorgeous, isn't it? Lots of vegetables inside you can see. Mushrooms, big chunks.

  • It's not hot any more.

  • And put this...

  • top...

  • Isn't it pretty? This way

  • See? Very easy. Easily you can make this.

  • And children love this. Me too, I love it.

  • I like to add more ketchup.

  • Look at that! Mmm! Wow, see? The cheese!

  • So delicious! Juicy and soft. This sausage flavor is so tasty.

  • And the melted cheese, cheddar cheese is so awesome!

  • And lots of vegetables and sweet and sour.

  • Mmm.

  • I hid some chopped green chili pepper, spiciness, and it's a really good kick!

  • When I had omurice for the first time in my life

  • was, I just remember, it was maybe junior high school.

  • I was growing up in a really small city in the southern part of Korea.

  • There was some restaurant, but the restaurant they sold only Western style food.

  • "Hamburg steak," and also pork cutlet, you know donkkaseu, and beef cutlet

  • and also this kind of omurice.

  • And then when I tasted it, it was really tasty. I didn't know that this came from Japan.

  • Omurice, donkkaseu, bihukkaseu

  • Instead of beef cutlet, we used to call this "bihukkaseu"

  • Later later I found why this is called omurice.

  • Omelette and rice.

  • My friends think that I'm really cool

  • because I ate at some Western style restaurant.

  • They gave us a fork, fork and also chopsticks, and they gave us kimchi [laughs] Always kimchi!

  • And also yellow pickled radish, you know, danmuji.

  • And then later, when I married and raised my children and then I made this omurice lunch box

  • all the time, and they love it!

  • Enjoy my recipe, see you next time, bye!
