Japanese Omurice is a vast and profound dish, with many different methods of preparation. This time, I'd like to share the most basic method.
To wrap tomato sauce fried rice in an egg blanket is a popular entry-level version of learning how to make Japanese-style Oyakodon. The egg blanket should have a firm surface with a slight runny texture inside to enhance the flavor. Shaping the egg blanket into a beautiful "olive shape" doesn't require any special skills—simply use a sheet of kitchen paper to gently press the initially loose egg blanket into the common olive shape. Trying it once will reveal how easy it is!
On the other hand, tomato sauce is definitely one of the stars of Oyakodon. Besides being used as a topping, it's a crucial element that adds a delightful sweetness and umami to the fried rice base! This time, I used the impeccably crafted KAGOME tomato sauce, known for its exceptional quality in tomato products.
KAGOME tomato sauce is Japan's No.1 tomato sauce, renowned for its rich lycopene content. Not only does it have a pronounced tomato flavor, but it also boasts antioxidant properties and benefits for skin health 🍅. Additionally, its soft bottle design is praiseworthy, making it easy to squeeze, use, and control the amount—a testament to Japanese meticulousness in product design!
