    Tidbit from Japan, the clip of omurice that Beryl put in is what we'd call the "restaurant version" of omurice. (And it's the most viral/popular version today.) What Genie made and called her "Midwestern version" of omurice is actually totally okay and legit as an omurice recipe made at home. Since omelette rice is what we call a "Westernized Japanese" dish, there's technically no right or wrong way to make it! "Authentic" in this context isn't really a thing and what Genie made is actually super similar to how a Korean household makes omurice by sliding the omelette on top. In Japan, we just lay down the rice on top of the unfolded, partially-cooked omelette, fold in the sides, and flip it onto a plate for the "home-cooked" version. All versions are delicious!

    • @leannsmarie
      @leannsmarie 2 года назад +5

      I learned a similar way inspired by a video here on RUclips. The video was from Surprise Tei in Fukoaka, Japan. I made a tomato rice & put it in a bowl and inverted that onto a plate. Then I slid a two egg partially cooked omelet on top of the rice. It looks very similar to that restaurant version of omurice but it was easier.

We’re Asian too, but my sister opted to not bring a big rice cooker. We didn’t know that’s the reason why our parents left. They bought her a rice cooker and she got so creative cooking in that rice cooker of her. 😂😅

    Such a fun video! To answer the question at the end, I got a BFA in Ballet for my university degree and I not only worked as a professional ballet dancer after school but also have started a business in a ballet-related field. I often chuckle at the fact that I was often treated by people like I was foolish for getting a degree in something that isn't practical, but I actually still use the knowledge and network from my degree every day and have made a decent living doing it! When I compare that to my sister and friends who got praise for choosing "practical" degrees but don't even work in a field related to what they studied anymore, I can't help but laugh a little bit at the irony 😂 Sure a degree in ballet certainly isn't for everyone, but neither is a degree in business, law, or pre-med!

    I love following you! I studied 4 years baking in high school at a vo-tech in NJ . I then went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park NY. I know my way around a kitchen. I spent 30 years in food service from an apprentice in a formal kitchen in a big name hotel to sous chef in country club or as head chef in others. I have had my own catering business, my own restaurant and I have been a buyer for Whole Foods. Like I said, I know my way around a kitchen. When I went to the Culinary there were 2 females in my class (group) of about 23. It was HARD. They didn't have clothes that were made for women. As for cooking in your room, out of the question. You could have a hot pot. Period. I remember hearing that there was a guy down the hall who made Eggs Benedict in the hot pot for a girlfriend. Wow! Microwaves were still iffy with no real standard. We ate in class and got a breakfast most days. I ramble. Please feel free to reach out to me for anything. I now live in Idaho as I am no good to any kitchen due to health issues. My hobby/business is I make hand made soap.

When I moved to the city to study I used to buy bags of rice, potatoes, pasta and ramen, and I built my meals around that. In Norway we have canned mackrel in tomato-sauce that are used as topping on sandwiches. I used it with cooked rice for dinner. I also built up a variety of spices, beceause if you add flovour almost anything can be delicious!
    I still always have potatoes, onions, rice, pasta, eggs, butter and spam in my kitchen. My best friend say that if you give me a ball of yarn and a nail, I can cook you something🤣😂

On the stove I'm inpatient but out of sight out of mind while I prepare everything else.

    Hey, just a quick aside to ensure that everyone is getting the right info. The clip at 12:30 is by no means traditional Japanese omurice as Beryl implied. Chef Motokichi and his restaurant became a sensation on the Internet because of his novel approach to the beloved Japanese dish, so that way of making and (mostly) presenting omurice is a new and very recent invention. Old-school omurice is just ketchup-based chicken fried rice wrapped in a lightly fried beaten egg (see Ochikeron, Just One Cookbook, or Cooking with Dog for their recipes). It is not much different from the way Beryl made it in the video, and certainly much easier than Chef Motokichi's viral recipe.

    Beryl, I cheat when making caramelized onions so I'll let you in on how:
    After slicing the onions, before transferring to the pan, put them in a bowl with a tiny pinch of salt, a bit of butter (thin slices placed over the top of all the onions) or oil drizzled over top, and a splash of white wine. Now nuke all that for several minutes. The time totally depends on the amount of onions and power of your microwave. I usually set my microwave to 2-3 minute intervals, stirring in between. It still tastes best if it goes in the pan after but not for very long at all. If I'm using them for something that I will also bake, like pizza, they're good enough straight out of the microwave.
    I hope you try my hack.

    Love the “Burning Love” recipe. I’ve made a similar dish a lot over the past year or so as a quick meal. When I was in college, we were not even allowed to have a microwave because of the “fire hazard”. The only thing we were allowed to have was a hot pot to heat water. I made Ramen in it a few times… What a mistake, so hard to clean! I can’t tell you the number of times we had to evacuate the building because of fire alarms from people using toasters (“illegal” in our dorms). I had a meal plan so mostly ate in the cafeteria or ordered pizza for delivery with friends. When I did need to make myself something in my room, it was usually Ramen with my hot pot, tuna salad, PB&J, or the like.

    Wow, what great recipes!
    When I studied I spend the first half year with almost nothing else to eat but toasted bread and soft boiled eggs ... bread and eggs brought from home. I sliced the toasted bread and dipped it into the egg. Still have it every once in a while, that thing seems to be a genetical thing or at least a family habit. Means it was also my mom's favourite snack, I guess half of my childhood I found her at least once or twice a week standing in the kitchen, eating her egg and reading a book. Usually deep in the night when everybody else slept ... don't know whether she was hiding it from my dad or so ;-D Whenever I eat that I remember her.
    About the Indian sandwich - it is also great with wai wai noodles, a brand of soup noodles in India (the brand is originating from Nepal) which are pre-cooked and pre-fried. Use the chicken flavour variant and add the packets and stir everything well but don't boil it, simply put it dry on the toasted bread. Ketchup fits well (Heinz or Splitz are my favourites in that case). You can also pimp it with an extra one-egg-omelette, and/or pickles. In case you use any haldiram items, don't forget to try it with any chutney instead of ketchup.
    What you said about Spam is so true - it is fantastique. You must try different brands, since spam is not spam but they all have different flavours and consistency. I have recently found out that two different brands from Singapore are sold now also in India - costly but extremely delicious (and you don't even have to go to a supermarket, I've found it on the Indian Amazon, the brands are Kelly's and El-Dina).
