The omurice omelette

[Morning Glory]

This Japanese omelette is traditionally served over fried rice. It looks easy. But is it really this simple? Its a set exterior with a loose scrambled egg interior. Please post your efforts here if you fancy trying it!

Here is a video. There are plenty of other videos available:

What I'm noticing from watching several videis is that there is a considerable amount of cooking ( jiggling) off the heat.

I'll have a go at this in the next few days.

I’d be the only one eating that if I made it successfully. MrsT wouldn’t go anywhere near it. Too soupy.

I think quite a few may think that. But my omelettes are French style and wibbly wobbly in the middle, so its not too far off what I do anyway. I do think not getting colour in the outside is tricky though.

Nearly all videos I've seen use thin non stick pans. Maybe that is because if using cast iron, for example, the heat is retained too much when removing from the flame, so the centre cooks through too much.

I don't recall having had it despite 3 months in Japan
But then I could only afford priced down items, cabbage, ice cream & socks
