Oatmeal Omurice (Recipe) | Japanese Cooking Video

Omurice is a very popular home cooked meal in Japan. It is a chicken fried rice wrapped with a thin sheet of crepe-like fried egg. In this recipe I substituted rice with oatmeal. The result is very satisfying. Enjoy!

The oatmeal I picked at the grocery store was "Multi Oatmeal". Which can be used for both hot and cold oatmeal. Please make sure what kind of oatmeal you have, and the way you turn it into rice substitute.

Daikon radish is from my son's Daikon digging at Kindergarten BTW 😉

You can of course use Salmon, scallop, or any other Sashimi-grade fish instead! Enjoy :)

toasted white sesame seeds

Directions:

1. In a small pot, boil down Sake and Mirin to reduce the alcohol content.

2. Add soy sauce and Wasabi, then mix well. (Wasabi will be not spicy if you mix and leave for a while, so kids can eat it with only nice Wasabi aroma.)

3. Marinate tuna Sashimi and put in the fridge for about 10 minutes. (Do not marinate too long or tuna will be salty.)

4. Meanwhile, put rice in a rice bowl and leave to cool. (Cold rice is better because it won't warm up the fish.)

5. Put Kizaminori on the rice, arrange Tuna sashimi, garnish with green onions or Shiso leaves, and sprinkle with toasted white sesame seeds. You can place a bit of fresh Wasabi on top if you like.

TAKOYAKI Party (Octopus Balls) | Japanese Cooking Video Recipe

How you make the batter is the key. My mom uses Takoyaki flour and tasty Dashi broth, then makes the batter bit loose and less salty. In this way we can eat Takoyaki forever with No Sauce 😂👍

Serving Takoyaki with Dashi broth is our typical family style. Sometimes we put sauce then pour over the Dashi but this time, no one used the sauce because the batter was a success. Making the batter from scratch is not easy for the beginners, so I recommend using Takoyaki flour for No Sauce like this one 😉 https://amzn.to/3nKsbDG

Takoyaki is a popular Japanese ball-shaped snack made of batter, diced octopus, tenkasu (tempura scraps), beni shoga (red pickled ginger), and aonegi (green onion), topped with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, aonori (green laver), and katsuobushi (bonito flakes). Slightly crispy on the outside and creamy inside.
