Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegan 'Egg' Mixture
-
In a blender, combine silken tofu, chickpea flour, baking powder, non-dairy milk (or water), nutritional yeast, salt, Kala Namak (if using), onion powder, paprika, and turmeric powder.
-
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. The mixture should be pourable but thick enough to hold its shape when cooked. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Fried Rice
-
Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add a small amount of neutral oil.
-
Sauté the minced shallot until fragrant and translucent, about 1 minute.
-
Add the diced carrot, garlic, and the white stems of the scallions. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until slightly softened.
-
Stir in the snap peas and mushrooms. Cook for another 2 minutes until tender.
-
Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry everything together.
-
Season with soy sauce, vegan oyster sauce, ketchup, salt, black pepper, and toasted sesame oil. Mix well and cook for another minute.
-
Stir in the green tops of the scallions, then turn off the heat. Set the fried rice aside.
Step 3: Cook the Vegan 'Egg' Omelet
-
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add 1–2 tablespoons of oil.
-
Pour in half of the blended ‘egg’ mixture, spreading it out into an even, thin layer (like a crepe).
-
Cover with a lid and let it cook for about 3–5 minutes until the edges start to lift and the surface looks mostly set.
-
Once set, carefully slide it onto a plate. Repeat for the second omelet if making two portions.
Step 4: Assemble the Omurice
-
Place half of the fried rice in the center of the cooked omelet.
-
Gently fold the sides of the omelet over the rice to enclose it.
-
Carefully flip the omurice onto a serving plate, seam-side down.
-
Drizzle with ketchup or your preferred sauce and garnish with extra scallions or sesame seeds.
