Omuraisu is kind of like Japanese style fried rice smothered with a omelet. It's a very satisfying "soul" food. Here's an easy recipe to try.

It looks delicious! Hmm. I read the recipe and the procedure is not so difficult. Sake is a little bit expessive here in the Philippines is there a substiture for Sake?

Sake isn't needed, it's optional. I think it might taste better without sake.
 
How to make Omuraisu,
It is very easy, and it is difficult.
There are 2 varieties of methods to wrap rice in an egg.
No.1 Put an omelette on rice.


No.2 Wrap rice in an egg.

Wow, he's got some skills there, I mean the guy on the videos!
I've tried to make the one with the eggs over rice before, but I just couldn't keep the eggs nice and soft like that.
By the way, ground beef also works great for filling.
 
I've never had demiglace sauce, only ketchup. Tohoho...:(

 
I am sure going to try this. You can ad anything to the rice as a filling for the omelet ? Or should I try just the baked rice with ketchup? Or is that just the basic version?
How is it served in Japan?
 
Very simple version.
Finely chopped onion + chicken (cut into tiny pieces), stir-fry them, and add cooked rice, season with salt, pepper, and ketchup.
This is called "chikin raisu (chicken-rice)" in Japanese.
Wrap the chicken rice with plain omlette. If it is difficult to warp up the rice, you can make an omlette separately and put it on the rice.

The thing which is short in the first recipe is milk.
A soft omelette is done when I add milk to an egg.

I noticed this excellent Cooking with Dog video on omuraisu and had to share it.

BTW, I tried omuraise with demiglace sauce at my local Denny's. It wasn't anything special. Ketchup is just as good.

I don't mean Denny's in L.A., I mean Denny's in Tokyo. The omuraisu wasn't bad, but it wasn't special.ﾂ

i can see sake being added in the sauce, but i also don't think that sake would go good in the fried rice portion.
