Omrice

I`ve never really been the type of person who eats breakfast. In the morning, I usually feel like I have a mild hangover, whether I have been drinking alcohol or not. I just don`t operate well before eleven o`clock. Given the choice between forcing down something I really don`t feel like eating and getting an extra thirty minutes in bed I will choose sleep every time.

This morning, I was hungry. Probably because I`m still jet-lagged, and in British time it is late evening. I`ve always loved midnight snacks. Sadly the cupboards are quite bare, so I had to improvise whatever I could with whatever I had. I decided to make the popular Japanese dish, omrice. A mash-up of the words omelette and rice, it is exactly as the name suggests, fried rice with an omelette flopped on top. I had eggs. I had rice. I had ketchup. I had a plan.

First I fried up an omelette using three eggs. This was then set aside. Next, I fried the rice in some ketchup for about 5 minutes. The final stage, and the most tricky, was to flop the omelette on top of the rice. I splashed some more ketchup on top of the omelette, and the meal was ready.
