Intro
Omusoba is a very popular dish in Japan that can be found in ‘family restaurants’ and izakayas (Japanese brasseries). It is an uncomplicated dish, remindful of what you would get in a Japanese household. Sweet and savory flavors are both present in this Japanese omelet that’s extremely satisfying on a cold day!
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 carrot, cut into small strips
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 cups cabbage, chopped bite size
- 4 tbsp. neutral oil (grapeseed, canola)
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp. rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp. water
- 1 tbsp. sake
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 sheet nori (dried seaweed), ground (I use a coffee grinder) or very finely chopped
- 6 oz (170g) chow mein noodles (ramen noodles are also good)
- Tonkatsu sauce
- Kewpie Mayonnaise (optional)
- salt & pepper
Step 1
Boil your noodles just short of al dente (you will finish them in the pan), rinse in cold water and set aside.
Step 2
Step 3
In a large pan over high heat, add 2 tbsp oil, garlic and onions, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the rest of the vegetables and cook until they are almost soft (about 8 minutes).
Step 4
Lower the heat and add noodles, water, soy sauce, sake, rice vinegar, sugar and nori. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
Step 5
While the veggies are finishing up in the pan, grab another pan to make your omelets. Use 2 eggs per omelet (break in a bowl and briefly whisk). Add oil to the pan and when the oil is hot, make your first omelet.
Step 6
When the omelet is ready, put it on a plate and repeat the process until all your omelets are made.
Step 7
Equally divide the veggie and noodle mix and spread it on one side of each omelet. Fold with the empty side, squirt a good amount of Tonkatsu sauce on top, add some kewpie mayonnaise too if you like to add creaminess, and serve!
