No Bento again (through no fault of mine - I'm raring to go)! Tried cooking Omurice for the first time. Wikipedia doesn't really do justice in describing Omurice.I Googled the recipe and fried the rice. It's basically fried with chopped onions, I used duck meat instead of chicken as in the recipe. Then I mixed in some tomato sauce at the end.
The omelet is supposed to be a little under cooked and soft when placed on top of the rice. You're suppose to slit it open to cover up the rice. Mine was a little over done but still very tasty. Look at this link and see how simple and delicious it is. There are two methods with the eggs in Omurice. One is to top the rice with the omelet and the other is to wrap the rice with the egg. Look at this link for the second method.
Check out Peony's site - a fellow bento blogger for first hand pictures from Japan.

oohhh.. that looks so yummy.. have you tried making beef sauce to go with it? we loved it.. :-)
I didnt know there are 2 methods. I always do the 2nd method.
Thanks for the sharing the link. They make it seems so easy! ;)
sting: Want to share your beef sauce recipe? Would love to try it!
wokkingmum: My friend who went back to Japan recently tried to explain this to me and I couldn't imagine how to 'wrap' the fried rice. She told me that there were two methods used in Japan.
So I went to YouTube to search. Had to view so many before finding these two. Sigh! Eyes also tired already. But glad it was informative. Cheers!
yes, there r so many varieties of yummy omuraisu in Japan.
in fact, there r restaurants that just specialize in omurice.
Can only take a few pic of the delicious dish here :

peony: Thanks for the info and link to your site. I've updated my omurice post to link to your pictures.
Btw, I quite a fan of your bentos! Cheers! And I think Ryan is every mother/grandmothers dream child/grandchild because he has such an appetite. My 8 year old hardly eats and is terribly picky.
First time hearing about it, don't look too hard to come up with a dish with eggs and fried rice.
ilovepearly: Basically it's egg and friend rice but if you watch the YouTube clips you see that the eggs are a little undercooked so that it is still very wet and soft and delicious as it is. Yeah!
