안녕하세요? 한국 엄마 아정입니다! 만나서 반가워요!




Hello!

I’m Ajeong, an ordinary Korean mom who works while taking care of my family’s three meals a day. Today, I wanted to make a delicious lunch for my son and husband, but I really didn’t feel like going grocery shopping.

So, I rummaged through my fridge and found some eggs and leftover vegetables from a previous meal. That’s when I decided to make omurice!

Omurice is a popular dish loved by people of all ages. It’s a simple yet nutritious and filling meal, making it a perfect choice for lunch. Here’s the omurice recipe that the three of us enjoyed today!





How to make Classic Omurice

Ingredients (Serves 1):

  • 1 bowl of cooked rice
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1/4 carrot
  • Some ham or bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • Ketchup
  • A pinch of salt and pepper
  • Cooking oil







Instructions:

  1. Finely chop the onion, carrot, and ham. (Even if you leave out one or two ingredients, it will still taste great!)

  2. Heat some cooking oil in a pan and stir-fry the onion, carrot, and ham. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry together.

  3. Season with salt and pepper.






  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with a little salt.

  5. Heat cooking oil in a pan, pour in the egg mixture, and spread it thinly.

  6. When the egg is half-cooked, fold it in half. (Don’t stress about making it look perfect—just fold it roughly!)

  7. Place the folded egg on top of the fried rice and drizzle ketchup to taste.

Enjoy your meal! 😊🍽️
