Omurice
My way:
-
Prep:
- Cook around 1 serving of rice (0.75-1.5 cups of rice)
- Mince garlic (2-4 cloves)
- Dice 1/3-1/2 of an onion (save the leftovers for later)
- Dice a carrot (optional)
- Crack two eggs, add a little bit of milk, and whisk them.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Cooking the fried rice:
- Preheat the pan with high heat.
- Turn down the heat to medium high heat once the pan is hot and put in oil.
- Put in the garlic and cook for 15-30 seconds (make sure they're not overcooked)
- Put in the onions. Cook until onions are clear. Feel free to turn down the heat if you feel that the pan is too hot.
- Move the onions around occassionally to prevent burning.
- You can put in carrots in this step too.
- If you're good, flip the pan contents like this dude in his tutorial.
- Put in the rice.
- Add in 1 tbsp of soy sauce and 2 tbsp of ketchup.
- Mix (turn down heat if too hot or rice is burning) and add salt/pepper to taste.
- Clean the pan or make a sauce with the extra stuff.
-
Cooking the omelette:
- Don't overcook it, just go slow.
Omelette
Ramen
Oatmeal
- Add oatmeal + enough milk to cover it
- Put it into the microwave for 2 minutes
- Once done, add a tablespoon of peanut butter and mix with the oatmeal.
- Tip: Use the back of your spoon to fish out the peanut butter from the jar. Makes it easier to get off the spoon!
- Cut up a banana and add it in for good measure.
Enjoy!
