Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice
• 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black salt (Kala Namak, optional for eggy flavor)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, turmeric powder, black salt (if using), and regular salt. Whisk together until smooth and lump-free. This will serve as the batter for your vegan omelette.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and sauté until they are heated through, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet and stir well to combine. Pour in the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of ketchup and stir-fry everything together until the rice is well-coated and slightly caramelized, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer the fried rice to a bowl and keep warm.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat over medium heat.

Step 5

Pour half of the chickpea batter into the skillet and quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into an even circle, about 7-8 inches in diameter. Cook until the edges are firm and the top starts to set, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Carefully flip the omelet using a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes on the second side. This will ensure it is cooked through without being too dry.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked omelet to a plate and place half of the prepared fried rice mixture into the center of the omelet.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the omelet over the rice to create an oval or envelope shape. Flip the omurice onto a serving plate, seamside down. Repeat steps for the second omurice.

Step 9

Garnish with a drizzle of additional ketchup over the top if desired, and sprinkle with chopped green onion for a fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan omurice!
