This Tornado Egg Omelette is an easy way to flip your regular omelette into something incredibly delicious in less than 30 minutes. It’s the perfect draping on top of a simple yet flavorful fried rice.
0 Crack the whole eggs into a small mixing bowl. Add dashi powder or salt then whisk until fully combined. Set aside for later
1 Heat neutral oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the onions, carrots, and garlic and stir fry until tender and fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cold day-old rice and break it apart using a spatula or wooden spoon.
2 Add soy sauce, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce and mix until thoroughly combined. Toss in chopped scallions and give it a final mix.
3 Divide the fried rice into two serving portions. To make a dome, fill the fried rice into a rice bowl and pack it down. Flip the rice bowl onto a plate. Remove the bowl then set the plate aside.
4 In a small pan (4 to 6 inches), heat 2 tablespoons neutral oil over medium-low heat. Once the oil is hot, pour half the egg mixture from earlier. Top it with an egg yolk then break it apart using a chopstick. Immediately drag a pair of chopsticks to the center of the pan, making sure they are about 1 to 2 inches apart. Gently and carefully rotate the chopsticks to create a swirl. Continue swirling until the eggs are almost set. The eggs will continue cooking from the residual heat.
5 Transfer the tornado egg omelette over the fried rice. Repeat for the second serving.
6 Garnish with dried parsley flakes and chili flakes.
