OMELETTE WRAPPED FRIED RICE

One of the few things I love doing when my men are not around is to go for a long walk, to take a lazy stroll at the local mall on my way back and taste food from various stalls at the food courts. The wanderer in me enjoys to venture alone, hops from this stall to that and taste the variety of spread they offer. The foodie in me loves it. These food court stalls may not offer the dishes authentic of their place, there are changes made according to the  local taste buds. What I like about a food court is that a variety of food is offered under one roof. In one of our local mall's food court, there is one Taiwanese joint selling various omelette wrapped stuffs. The rice lover in me specially love their Omelette Wrapped Fried Rice. Due to severe haze, I am not going out unless necessary. Hence, I tried to recreate it at home in my own way. I prepared a vegetarian version of the fried rice with mushrooms, green peas, carrots and onions. We can add other vegetables and chicken too to it. They usually serve it with a clear soup and salad. I omitted the soup and served it with fresh salad. Let us do it. I couldn't make an envelop with the omelette, found it tough.

Egg : 2 [for one serving]

Wash and prepare the rice in enough water until 70% done. Drain the water through a strainer.

Wash the chopped mushrooms and vegetables.

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the minced garlic and stir for half a minute. Add the onions and stir at high heat until they turn translucent.

Add the cubed carrots and green peas, add a little of salt and stir for 3-4 minutes. Squeeze the water and add the mushrooms. Stir for another 3 minutes.

Now add the rice, black pepper powder, the required amount of salt and soya sauce. Stir at high heat for 2-3 minutes. It is done.

Wash the pan, dry and heat 1tsp of oil. To serve each person we need an omelette made with 2 eggs. Therefore beat 2 eggs at a time with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Pour over the oil in the pan. Flip over.

Place the omelette on a plate. Spoon in required amount of fried rice and fold. I was unable to make the envelop, so kept it simple as this.

Serve with a salad of your choice. This can be called a complete meal on a plate.
