Renowned chef Wolfgang Puck once said, “You can enjoy an omelet at any time of the day—it’s perfect for every occasion.” We couldn’t agree more. An omelet is a versatile and delightful dish that can be enjoyed at any time, but crafting the perfect French omelet can be a challenge. Luckily, making a great omelet doesn’t have to be complicated or strictly follow the French technique. There are many simpler yet equally delicious ways to prepare this quick egg dish, especially if you have some leftover rice on hand.
While some traditionalists may be hesitant to add rice to their omelets, a recent TikTok video from kalejunkie has inspired us to try incorporating rice for a crispy twist. This rice-infused omelet is perfect for any meal, whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a midnight snack.
How to Prepare a Crispy Rice Omelet:
An omelet can range from simple salted eggs cooked in butter to a more elaborate version with cheese, vegetables, meat, and herbs. Rice may not be a typical omelet ingredient, but when combined, it creates a crispy outer layer.
For a crispy rice omelet, follow these steps from Nicole K. Modic (kalejunkie on TikTok):
– Heat 1 teaspoon of chili oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
– Spread 1/2 cup of cooked rice evenly on the pan, pressing it down to form a thin layer.
– Pour two whisked eggs over the rice and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
– Add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions, then fold the omelet over.
– Cook for a few more minutes until fully cooked.
This flavorful dish can be customized with your preferred ingredients. You can experiment with different oils, cheeses, meats, or vegetables to create your own unique crispy rice omelet. Whether you opt for a classic combination or a more unconventional twist, this quick and satisfying meal offers endless possibilities for enjoyment at any time of the day.
