Oh, the omelet. A once and always favorite of we humans, enjoyed since time immemorial. With such a longstanding history you’d think we would have tried it all. I mean, what is an omelet but last nights leftovers with an egg (or in my case 3 or 4) cracked over their morning after reverie? And yet when I first encountered omurisu (omirice) I had a genuine, heartfelt WTF moment. The contents are few, like most Japanese cooking, it’s an art of reduction. You take minced beef, onions, carrots, peppers, and potatoes, preferably (Japanese potato word) Contains salt, pepper, a dollop of ketchup sauce. Can you “dollop” ketchup? That feels too refined, let’s say “glob.” And, yes, a glob of ketchup.
