Ingredients

  • 300g minced meat
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • ½ carrot, chopped
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp tonkatsu (Chuno) sauce
  • 300g cooked rice
  • Salad oil, for frying
  • For the omelette:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp potato starch dissolved in a little water
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Method

  1. On the BRUNO Compact Hot Plate (flat plate), add the minced meat, onion and carrot in that order and stir-fry well on HIGH. Stir in the curry powder, ketchup and tonkatsu sauce to season.
  2. Shape the rice into three mounds on top of the curry.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the dissolved potato starch, milk and sugar. Heat a little salad oil and pour in one-third of the egg.
  4. Once the edges set, lower the heat and, keeping your chopsticks still, rotate the pan to gather the egg into soft folds. When a loose drape forms, slide it over a rice mound. Repeat for the other two.
  5. Finish with sauteed paprika, aubergine, boiled broccoli or any toppings you like.

Tip: The splash of milk and pinch of sugar keep the omelette tender and give it a glossy finish; the dissolved potato starch helps it hold together as you fold it. Work over a gentle heat so the egg stays soft, not browned.
