Popular Dish from the Land of the Samurais


         The world of anime and manga that was created by the Japanese people is now spreading the japanese culture all over the world. Kids and teens are already influenced by the Japanese just by watching and reading those things. And some of them right now tries to make or imitate dishes based from what their eyes could witness from an anime show or a manga. And are you one of them? If you are, why not try to make this popular dish that almost all of the anime shows have shown, the omurice.
          First, let's make sure that your kitchen could supply the materials that you'll need to cook it. You'll need a mixing bowl, large wooden spoon, whisk beater, a flat spatula, frying pan and of course, a stove. In choosing the frying pan, I recommend a non-stick and a medium one. You can use any kind of stove for this dish.
          Then, let's prepare the ingredients that you'll need for the dish. Beat two large eggs on the mixing bowl, season it with a pinch of salt and a pinch of ground black pepper. Then cut chicken breast in diced pieces. You can also cut the chicken into stripes and then set it aside. Then for the green peas, if you are going to use the frozen ones, place the peas onto a mesh strainer and soak it onto a bowl with hot water first to remove the unpleasant odor of it. Then prepare a cup of steamed rice. Then you'll also need coarsely chopped onions and garlic, a teaspoon of olive oil just to saute, and a cup of tomato ketchup or any ketchup that would fit your taste.
           And now, let's prepare the chicken rice or the filling of the omurice. Place the frying pan on the stove and turn the stove on medium heat. Then place the olive oil on the pan and spread the oil just to coat the pan evenly. Just before the oil or the pan starts to bring off smoke, put the chopped onions and garlic onto the pan and begin to saute. When the color of the onions turn to light brown, place the diced chicken breast and mix or stir it well with the onions and garlic. When the chicken is already cooked, put the steamed rice and green peas at the same time to saute mixture on the pan, mix it well. After three minutes, put the ketchup on the chicken rice and distribute the ketchup evenly. Then cover for two minutes the set aside on a plate. Then you're now ready to make the egg wrap for the omurice.

           The egg wrap for the omurice is just a simple fried scrambled egg. First, heat the frying pan again and place little olive oil. Then put the beaten egg mixture. Spread the egg mixture on the pan evenly. Then, when the bottom surface of the fried egg is already formed, place the chicken rice at the center of it. The top surface of the egg should be runny or just a little bit of being runny. Then cover the chicken rice with the egg on both left and right side shaping an oblong. Then turn of the stove and grab the pan. Then your omurice is ready to serve. Wait, you should flip the omurice onto a plate placing the browner side on top.
            This popular dish is already a full meal for lunch and dinner. And this recipe is already been cooked or practiced all around the world especially to those with the knowledge of animes and mangas. The world of anime and manga that was created by the Japanese people has spread the japanese culture all over the world.
