We're making another Food Wars recipe today, and this time we're combining Italian and Japanese cuisine with Soma's Curry Risotto Omurice. I made some modifications to this recipe from the manga and have some tips below. But all in all, this is an absolutely delicious meal to make for dinner. 

For those who don't know, omurice (omuraisu in Japanese, pronounced oh-moo-rye-sue) is a Japanese omelette that is stuffed with rice, vegetables, and sometimes meat. It's a delicious east-meets-west breakfast option and usually served with ketchup, but today we're making an oyster-soy sauce and whipping up a heartier filling that makes this better suited for lunch or dinner, in my opinion.

Ingredients

For the filling (makes 4-6 servings):
  • 1 cup rice, uncooked (I recommend using Nishiki sushi rice)
  • 0.5 lb ground meat (we used ground chicken)
  • 0.5 sweet onion, diced
  • 1/5 block of S&B Golden Curry Roux
  • 1 tbspmango chutney
  • 3-4 cups of water
  • 2 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 block of chicken bouillon (or packet if you have powdered)
  • 2 tsp parsley 
  • 1/4 cup mozzarella shreds 
  • 1 tsp salt & pepper
For the omelette:
  • 2 eggs per serving
  • Salt & pepper to taste
For the sauce:
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions

  • In a large pot, add diced onions and ginger. Saute, then add the meat and curry powder. Cook until meat is done.
  • Add the rice, water, mango chutney, and chicken bouillon to the pot (start with 3 cups of water, and add the fourth if necessary). Stir then heat to boiling, then reduce to low heat and let simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked. 
  • Add cheese, salt & pepper, and parsley and mix. Set aside.
  • Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and beat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • With the largest pan you have, add some cooking spray and then the egg mix. Let it spread thin. Once it is mostly (but not entirely) cooked, add desired mixture to the center in a cylinder shape. Gently fold the egg over the tops and then use the pan to help shape your omurice (for more help with this, there's an embedded video below!).
  • Use a plate to flip the omurice onto it so its ready to serve. Continue to mold into the oval-like shape as needed.
  • Repeat this process with the eggs until you have 4-6 servings.
  • In the pan you used to make the omurice, add all of the sauce ingredients. Heat to boiling to thicken and then remove from heat. Drizzle over your omurice and enjoy!

NEED EXTRA HELP MAKING OMURICE?

I love ochikeron's tutorial on omurice that she has on YouTube. This is for a full (separate) recipe that includes a different filling, but the general steps for how to stuff and fold the omelette are the same as you'd use here.
​

The Verdict

As I mentioned earlier, this was the most delicious thing I've ever cooked. Like, literally ever. Anthony also agreed that this was absolutely delicious and the over-exaggerated reactions that people have in the show are definitely not over-exaggerated when it comes to this Curry Risotto Omurice. 

Once you get the hang of shaping your omurice, this is actually fairly simple to replicate - a bit on the time consuming side, but the replacements I had to make due to store availability were minimal and the process was more simple than I thought it would be to whip this up.

So on both taste and ease, this is without a doubt a 10/10. I'd even say that this is a 100/10!
