Let's Cook! Omelet Rice (kinda)

I found a recipe in a rice cookbook for omelet rice and decided to give it a shot. I couldn't really get it to go into the omelet but I will show you what I ended up doing.

Step 1: Get Your Rice Cooking

I pretty much never have rice made beforehand so I just make my rice while I'm cooking the rest of the dish. If you are using rice from a package, follow the instructions on the package and otherwise find some tutorial on the internet. Maybe I'll make a tutorial on how to make rice at some point. It won't be super specific, though XD

Step 2: Cut Up Onions and Start Cooking

Again, I cut my onions differently than most people. Cut them however you would like. Put them in a pan with an oil of choice and start cooking them.

Step 3: Get Glorious Onions

After ten minutes or so, your onions will be getting fairly cooked, or slightly burned in my case (I was talking on the phone and go distracted). Anyway, when they get darker like that they taste really good.

Step 4: Chop Up Garlic and Ginger

Well, the title is pretty self explanatory. I used one knob of ginger and 3 cloves of garlic. I actually hate mincing garlic but I did it here because I was already cutting up the ginger. Normally I press garlic because we have a garlic press.

Step 5: Throw All the Stuff In
Add the garlic, ginger, frozen peas, and tomato paste to the pan and stir it around.

Step 6: Cook the Stuff
Cook everything together for a couple minutes and it will end up looking like this.

Step 7: Add Rice
At this point the rice is probably done (if not just turn the heat to low and wait), so put it into the pan with the vegetable mixture and mix it all together.

Step 8: Done with the Rice Part

Ta da! Rice yumminess is done.

Now time for me to try and fail at the omelet part.

Step 9: Get Omelet Ingredients

Get two eggs (per omelet) and some soy sauce/tamari sauce/coconut aminos

Step 10: Crack Eggs into Bowl and Add Sauce of Choice

Well, do what the title of the step is.

Step 11: Mix It All Together

Again, self explanatory.

Step 12: Get Your Pan Ready

Get a flat pan and put some oil in it. Heat over mediumish heat and swirl/push the oil around to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 13: Put Egg Mixture in Pan

Make sure you waited long enough. It should sizzle and such on contact. That's for making a normal omelet, though, and apparently that isn't what they wanted I believe. So basically I'm going to have my instructions for making a regular omelet my way which I don't think is what they wanted but anyway now you know how to make an omelet which is essential to cooking.

Step 14: Flip the Omelet
When it looks something like this, flip the omelet.

Step 15: Cook the Other Side

I like my omelets well done but this one got a little burned because I had the temperature too high to begin with. Anyway, this step should be somewhat optional unless you like your eggs cooked really well.

Step 16: Put Rice Mixture In/On Omelet

I couldn't get my omelet to fold like the instructions said so I just left the rice on top of the omelet and ate it like that (had to use a fork, though).

And that's how I did it! Kinda failed at the omleteing part but hey it still tasted good.
