I wanted to enjoy restaurant-style omurice easily at home. The story behind this recipe: I bought beef stew roux on sale, but realized we don’t eat beef stew that often. I wanted to use it in another way and thought it might go well with omurice. When I tried it, my family loved it, so now I always keep beef stew roux on hand!

Steps

1

Pour about 1 1/2 cups water (350 ml) into a frying pan or pot and bring to a boil.
2

Once boiling, turn off the heat and add the beef stew roux, breaking it up so it dissolves completely.
3

Add the sugar, mirin, and 1/4 cup (50 ml) sake. Turn the heat to high and stir until it comes to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reaches your desired thickness.
4

Taste and add more sugar if you want it sweeter. If the sauce gets too thick, add more sake to adjust the consistency.
5

The flavor may vary depending on the brand of roux you use, so feel free to use your favorite brand.

Thanks to Memitan for the tip! The contrast of the brown sauce with a hint of yellow is so appetizing. With just a little extra effort, you can make it look like a restaurant dish. Thank you for making it look so delicious!
