How to Cook an Omelette with the Rice Cooker

I think I've reached another rice cooker milestone today.

 Yes, I fried something with it.

I was really afraid that it won't be a success and I'll just waste all the eggs but luckily, I manage to get it fried properly after one failed try. The hard part about frying an omelette in the rice cooker is keeping the 'cook' button down. First of all, you will definitely need to heat the oil but the thin layer of oil is too light and it will be as if the rice cooker is empty. The 'cook' button will tend to pop up sometimes because of this. It is also super hard to flip the omelette inside a pot which is small in diameter and  deep too. These are the main challenges.

BUT I DID IT! :D

Ingredients:

4 large eggs

1 large tomato

1 large onion

Salt

Pepper

Corn oil

STEP 1: PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS

Wash the onion and tomato.
Preferably, soak them in water for awhile if you've got the time.

Dice the onion into really small pieces.

Dice the tomato too!

Tadaaaa!

These are the ingredients that I used!

STEP 2: HEAT THE OIL

Add about 1-2 tbsp of oil into the rice pot.
Swirl the pot to ensure the bottom surface is fully covered with oil.
Close the lid and press 'cook'. Remember to frequently check if the 'cook'
button has popped up. If so, press it again!

STEP 3: BEAT THE EGGS

Crack 4 eggs into a bowl.

Beat the eggs evenly and add some salt based on your preference.
Mix the egg and salt mixture evenly.

STEP 4: SAUTE THE TOMATO AND ONIONS

Add all the diced tomato and onion into the heated oil.

Let it cook for about 3-4 mins or until soft and fragrant.

STEP 5: ADD THE BEATEN EGGS

Add the beaten eggs into the pot. Close the lid.

After 5-6 minutes, open the lid to check whether the top surface of the egg
has cooked (hardened). If it is cooked already, use a spoon to cut the circle
into 4 quadrants as shown above. Makes flipping easier!
PS: Looks like a frittata, don't it? ☺

Grab another spoon and try to use both spoons to flip the egg. You can
close the lid for another 3-4 minutes after flipping to cook the bottom side.
Be careful at this step as it is quite a handful to flip it prettily.

STEP 6: SERVE!

Carefully use two spoons to dish up the omelettes! Serve when hot!
Although it really don't look as good as pan-fried omelette, at least it still
tastes just as good ♥

Happy cookin' ☺
