"We can't make delicious omurice using the equipment we have!" - Minko

There are several ways to complete this delicious chicken, rice, and egg dish. Watch a professional chef show his elegant method of making omurice here. You may also add chopped carrots, mushrooms, or other vegetables to the rice mixture. I included broccoli as a optional garnish, since Ohana from Hanasaku Iroha makes broccoli "revenge" omurice for her mother who neglected her as a child. A version of "love" omurice (shown in the image gallery) is also featured on the show.

  6. In a small bowl, whisk egg(s) and milk.

  10. Push the entire omelet to the edge of the pan, and then flip onto the plate.
  11. Drizzle or write words on the top of the omelet with remaining ketchup. (If a ketchup bottle is too hard to control, you may cut a pointy end off of a plastic bag to make a piping bag.)
  12. Garnish with parsley (or cooked broccoli).
