How to make an omurice (from Tampopo)

The dialogue goes as follows:

- You're not eating much, sonny. Can I fix you something? What do you want?
- A rice omelet.
- Rice omelet. Hmm. Okay, follow me.

the person who actually made that omelette was the director of this movie (juzo itami). First he was filming this scene with a professional chef he hired, but he didn't like it much, eventually he decided to do it by himself.

This film is fantastic, one of my favourites :) I can't watch this without eating something, last time I saw it I had some miso soup, ramen and onigiri mmmm oishi na.

Hey is that ketchup he's using in the rice? Anyone know?

[pepeYjuana]

Wow! I've never seen an egg done like THAT before. So delicate, such finesse.

Great film ! Always makes me so hungry for noodles and oriental food afterwards.

After I watched the movie, I couldn't wait a moment longer. I rushed to the kitchen to make my very first omelet! It was actually very successful (I did pause and rewind the tape a couple of times before I went into the kitchen). The video clip brought back these wonderful memories. 5 stars for the video.
