Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the delicious Omurice sauce. Heat the butter (20g) in a pan over medium heat and sauté the thinly sliced onion until translucent to release its aroma. It’s important to sauté the onion until it becomes sweet and fragrant. 🙂
Step 2
Once the onion is well sautéed, add the flour (20g) to the pan and stir to combine, creating a roux. Cook for about 1 minute over low heat to cook out any raw flour taste and develop a nutty aroma. This step makes the sauce wonderfully smooth.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the water (300ml) into the roux, whisking or stirring continuously to ensure there are no lumps. Then, add the ketchup (2.5 Tbsp), soy sauce (1 tsp), sugar (1 tsp), and a pinch of black pepper. Stir well and simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Your delicious Omurice sauce is ready! Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste. ㅎ
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the star of the dish: Kimchi Fried Rice! It’s incredibly simple. You can even use your favorite Kimchi Fried Rice recipe. Lightly grease a pan, add the chopped green onions, and sauté until fragrant to create green onion oil. Once the aroma releases, add the chopped kimchi and stir-fry. The key is to cook the kimchi until its tanginess mellows and its savory flavor deepens. ㅎ
Step 5
When the kimchi is partially cooked, add the sugar (1 tsp). This balances the sourness of the kimchi and coats it with a pleasant sweetness, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the fried rice.
Step 6
Next, add the soy sauce (1 tsp), gochugaru (2 tsp), and fish sauce (1/2 Tbsp) to amplify the savory notes of the kimchi. To prevent the fried rice from becoming too dry, add just 1-2 tablespoons of water to keep it moist. Stir-fry everything together until all the flavors are well combined. ㅎ
Step 7
Add the warm cooked rice (1 bowl) to the well-stirred kimchi mixture. Gently break up the rice with a spatula, ensuring each grain is coated with the flavorful kimchi seasoning. Continue stir-frying until the rice is thoroughly mixed and heated through. Your delicious Kimchi Fried Rice is now complete!
Step 8
Time to make the creamy Omurice egg topping! In a bowl, whisk together the eggs (2), a splash of milk (1/3 Tbsp, optional for extra creaminess), mirin (1/3 Tbsp), sugar (1/3 tsp), and a pinch of salt. Avoid over-whisking; a gentle mix is best.
Step 9
Pour the beaten egg mixture into a lightly greased pan over low heat. Using chopsticks or a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Remove from heat while still slightly moist to ensure a tender, creamy omelet. 🙂
Step 10
Now, let’s assemble your beautiful creation. Place a generous portion of the flavorful Kimchi Fried Rice onto a plate. Carefully drape the soft, fluffy egg omelet over the rice. Add slices of fresh avocado on top for a touch of color and healthy fat.
Step 11
Generously ladle the warm, delicious Omurice sauce over the entire dish. For a final flourish, sprinkle a little fine gochugaru or paprika powder over the avocado slices. Your visually appealing and incredibly tasty Omurice Kimchi Fried Rice is ready! ㅎ
Step 12
Enjoy your meal! We hope you have a wonderful dining experience with this special Omurice Kimchi Fried Rice, perfect for making any day feel a little more extraordinary. ~
