Japanese-Style Rice Omelet
Description
It works for both special occasions and everyday meals. The recipe for Japanese-style rice omelet has European roots and was first made in Japan only in 1902. Yet the dish took hold so strongly there that it became one of the staples of Japanese cuisine—there are even restaurants that specialize solely in this kind of omelet. In general, there is no fixed set of ingredients for this dish, so you can experiment freely with it, but you cannot do without rice and, of course, the omelet itself. And if you are in the mood for something exotic, you do not have to travel to distant Asian countries—I will gladly tell you how to make Japanese-style rice omelet at home.
