How to Master the Omurice Omelet

Omurice is a Japanese dish consisting of an omelet served with fried rice, but it’s most well-known version has probably shown up on your social media feeds—a perfectly made omelet with a thin, crêpe-like exterior completely encasing softly set curds, perched atop a mound of fried rice and doused with rich and dark beef demi-glace. In this video, we showcase our technique for the omelet, breaking up the lightning-quick process (it should take no longer than a minute!) into easily digestible steps you can focus on and practice. Chef Nicholas Gavin goes into the nitty-gritty details, highlighting key points of preparation, with a boatload of helpful tips for getting it right in your home kitchen. We also came up with a fried rice recipe designed to pair with the omelet, and the plate gets a generous ladle of our chicken demi-glace, which is just as rich and dark as a beef version and every bit as delicious.
