Ingredients
Fried rice
- 4 cups white rice cooked (sushi or jasmine rice works best to hold the dome shape)
- 1 ¼ cup SPAM diced
- ½ onion diced
- 2 cup mixed vegetables rinsed in water and strained well, frozen
- 3 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce regular
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Omelette
- 4 large egg
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Demi-glace sauce
- 5 tbsp. ketchup
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce regular
- 1 tbsp. tonkatsu sauce store bought
- 1 tablespoon sugar or white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
- ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- ¾ cups water
- ¼ cups milk
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat and fry onions and diced spam until spam is slightly browned on the edges.
- Fry mixed veggies until softened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Toss in cold day-old rice and break it up. Season rice with soy sauce, ketchup and sesame oil. Toss until every rice granule is colored brown.
- Divide fried rice into two serving bowls and firmly pack it into the bowls.
- Plate two larger shallow bowls on top of each rice bowl. Let it set for 1 minute. Then flip it over and remove the first bowl.
- In a small bowl, beat 2 eggs (per serving).
- In a small frying pan (about 8 inches wide) set over low-medium heat, add oil. Pour your egg mixture into the pan and let it bubble to create a solid base. Quickly insert wooden chopsticks positioned at a 45-degree angle from each other along the edges of the pan. Then slowly bring chopsticks toward the center.
- Hold the wooden chopstick in the center, only rotating the pan so your egg becomes a tornado shape.
- Once egg tornado is cooked, with the help of the chopsticks slide it on top of the rice. Repeat this process again with the remaining egg for the second omelette.
- In a small saucepan, add your sauce ingredients and whisk them together. Then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, while stirring.
- Once sauce has thickened, remove off heat and pour half of it around or on top the omelette fried rice. Enjoy!
