If you are a rice person, like me, and you cannot shake off the habit of wanting rice with a gravy or curds (yogurt) to anything else, Omurice comes to rescue in Korea. This one dish meal has rice and veggies and gravy with an omelet too :)
Korean rice is quite fat compared to the Indian varieties and is comparable to the Salem rice or the idli rice in India. Though it is tough to eat this rice with the Indian gravies and curries, it is quite nice in Bibimbaps or with toasted sesame seeds in Kimbaps. But, i think Omurice is the best way to have the Korean rice.
Bap, or cooked Korean rice with few veggies is wrapped by a thin omelet making a parcel. This makes the basic Omurice (Omelet + rice). Top with your favorite gravy, and it completes the one dish meal.

And of course, there are tons of options with chicken, beef and seafood to go on top of the Omurice along with different types of sauces. |

My friend has just returned here from her 3 month stay in Korea. She loves the food there. I like the preparations but personally i don't like too much gravy and i want them separated from my rice, so maybe i will not like that very much. I am a rice person too, though not a gravy person!
ReplyDeleteYou can have omurice without the gravy too :) or gravy on the side!
DeleteNow I know what to order in Seoul. Nice blue plate.
