Rice with Sausage, Onion, Ketchup and Sunny-Side-Up Egg

Zojirushi Recipe – Rice with Sausage, Onion, Ketchup and Sunny-Side-Up Egg

This is an adaptation of Japanese omu-raisu ("omelet-rice"), a hundred twenty years old classic "Japanized" dish borrowed from Western cuisine. The cooked rice, which is stir-fried with chicken, then flavored with ketchup (yes, ketchup), is wrapped in fluffy French- style omelet. In this version the rice is served with a sunny-side-up egg.

  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion

Measure the rice accurately using the measuring cup that came with your rice cooker. Rinse white rice until water clears, or rinse quickly once if using brown rice, and place in the inner cooking pan.

When rice completes cooking, transfer the rice to a strainer and rinse under cold tap water to cool the rice and remove excess starch. Drain the rice and let stand 20 minutes before stir-frying. When using rice that has been previously cooked and stored in the refrigerator, omit this step.

Add the sausage and cook it over high heat until all pieces appear well fried. Add the chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup and cook the mixture over moderately high heat until the stock is half absorbed.
