Evening Open Thread

A couple years ago, I received an anime cookbook for Christmas. I haven’t really done much with it other than make really delicious honey ginger milk for tea, but this weekend I attempted to change that. I learned about a dish called Omurice, a Japanese breakfast dish inspired by western omelets! Basically you fry rice and then wrap it up in an omelet with ketchup drizzled on top. The ingredients are easy enough to gather and prepare, but the omelet is where I’ve been failing. During my first attempt yesterday I browned the omelet more than I should of, but it still tasted good. Today I got the color right, but it fell apart when trying to put it all together. I’ll probably need to watch some videos to get an idea for the technique. It’s tasty even if the omelet falls apart, but I want to get the presentation right. Instead of having mine with ketchup, I purchased a gingery Asian BBQ Sauce, and it all tasted sooooo good.

Between my Omurice attempts, drinking green tea, flowery aromatherapy and lots of Okami; it’s been a nice, relaxing weekend. I just need to finish it up with a matcha latte and then I can successfully call it a night.
