[Top Chef Fakku March] - Chicken Omurice

I finally got tired of eating nothing really but pasta and canned/frozen food for the last little while, so I decided to treat myself to some proper food. This time I bought real chicken and being the weeaboo I am, decided to make Chicken Omurice...

Finished Product!



Note: I couldnt take a picture of making to omelet as you cant afford to muck around with a camera.

I was really pleased with myself as I actually managed to make a proper omelet layer thing and cover it properly. In the past I either turned it into scrambled eggs or it broke in half while I was attempting to cover the rice with it.

And I would have loved to added a message like this:

but that wasnt going to happen, so I settled for the Classic F!

Comments and critique much appreciated :)

tried it.. to my surprise i liked it.
now to test it on my 9 year old .... :)

Looks good and sounds creative, sounds too sweet with 1tsp of sugar and ketchup though. This caught my attention and will try this.

Add: voted for this.

Yeah, the Japanese people tend to make their food a bit on the sweet side--sweet curry, sweet spaghetti (blech), sweet pizza...

I did vote for this dish though, since omelette-flipping skills are nothing to sneeze at.

@_@ Omelet!!!

I'm having that for dinner tomorrow then!

For me, it was between yours and animefreak's.

But in the end, yours won out. The more I look at the recipe, the more it seems suited to my tastes. Although animefreak seems to have better presentation, the more I look at that spread the more it seems like it's just crispy chicken and rice.

Yours however sounds more like something I would eat, and its a more original way of using the target food. You get points for a proper flip, and I like the idea of surprise and blend of flavors that an omelet has. Every time I look away to the other contestants pages, I find myself coming back and wanting a bite of yours.

My only criticism is color. The red ketchup F! helps, but all in all, most of your pics come off as having blandish unvaried tones. Next time, I would like to see the use of some garnishing to add a bit of that color you were lacking this time around. I believe that will push your presentation up further.

In case you need some advice on what colors would have helped, you needed some vibrant colors that help your egg stand out, so they compliment the dish.

For example:

Green

Orange

Light Blue or Purple (such as a darker than baby blue or violet plate)
