Ingredients

1 bento serving
  1. About 2 bowls (adjust to fit your bento box) cooked white rice
  2. 1/2onion
  3. 3hot dog sausages
  4. Corn, as desired (feel free to use your favorite fillings)
  5. 2eggs
  6. as neededKetchup,
  7. Black pepper, to taste
  8. Butter or margarine, a little

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a little butter in a frying pan. Sauté the onion, sausages, and corn. Add the cooked rice, season with black pepper and ketchup, and stir to combine.

  2. 2

    Heat butter in a frying pan and cook the eggs to make a thin omelet.

  3. 3

    Once cooked, place a sheet of plastic wrap on a plate, put the omelet on it with the side you want to show facing down.

  4. 4

    Line your bento box with plastic wrap, add the rice mixture, and gently shape it to fit the omurice style.

  5. 5

    Place the shaped rice onto the omelet, with the gathered side of the wrap facing down. Carefully peel off the top layer of plastic wrap. This is a key step!

  6. 6

    Hold the plastic wrap under the omelet and shape it into an omurice form.

  7. 7

    Place the wrapped omurice into the bento box with the gathered side down, then gently remove the top layer of plastic wrap again. This is another key step!

  8. 8

    Fill any empty spaces in the bento box with your favorite side dishes.

  9. 9

    Drizzle ketchup on top and it's ready!

    If you're worried about ketchup getting messy when you close the lid, I found a solution!

  13. 13

    There are small containers for ketchup or dressing. Put them in the bento and add the ketchup just before eating to keep things neat!
