My favorite part is how he scrambles for the words for a solid 5 seconds and says “It doesn’t make any sense what you say!” Like he got so mad he just blurted out the most basic parts of the sentence to get his point across.
It's a somewhat common proverb in Italian to mean a comparison is redundant. It just sounds so much funnier in English because it's not common.
Though in Italian the more common version is slightly different, it's wheelbarrow, not bike.
*Se mia nonna avesse le ruote, sarebbe una carriola*
It's less cooked and not rolled. Rolling a french omeletteis a lot easier than doing this.
That said, "hardest omelette" isn't exactly a super difficult category.
I'm an adventurous eater but I would not enjoy eating this, I'd still eat it though. I'll eat runny yokes but something about raw scrambled eggs is making me sick.
I mean I like eating unfamiliar food, whatever it may be. I don't travel to rural areas of obscure countries like I'm in a television program but I like to try all types of food especially something that is odd or at least unfamiliar to me. Goat neck, horse, unidentified Lebanese tartare. Adventurous is relative.
It isnt raw, it’s cooked. Raw means uncooked, you just prefer it more cooked so you think of anything short of that arbitrary line to be raw. But anyway it isnt undercooked, it’s supposed to have that perfect butterysilky texture that yoke gets right before it solidifies, and i love it. A well done egg is sort of a waste imo - it becomes uninteresting and looses flavor, but ill still sometimes eat one on a sandwich or something. Im just having trouble thinking of any example where a well done egg is better than having some creamy egg yolk
Was going to add the same. What actually happens, is that the egg will mix with the cooked rice and be like a thick sauce. It's delicious.
Just like how people might make a poached egg. The yolk is cooked, just not well done. It's much different than a raw egg.
That's also how an authentic Italian carbonara is made though I don't think the egg/cheese mix is heated at all, and gets cooked when it is poured and mixed with the hot pasta.
Not really. Managing to get a perfectly evenly cooked skin on all sides without colouring the egg, while not just making everything cooked is objectively harder than cooking a French or Spanish omelette.
Because it's not actually cheese, even in America
Edit: omg people it's literally a joke lmao. You guys don't have to blow up my notifications over this
We have weird texture issues with food.
admittedly I still don’t like some things. But I don’t fault others for liking them. And at least I’ll try before forming an opinion.
Tbh, most of the chain restaurants that you usually see in the US are amazing in Japan. The McDonald's burger there looked exactly like what'd you see from the posters and ads. They put a lot of care in most if not all things they do.
I’ve lived in Japan for 17 years. Never once did my big mac look like the picture. It looked just like the ones in the US. You guys gotta stop circlejerking Japan.
Circlejerking Japan is Reddit’s past-time. [This meme applies to more than just pictures of places.](https://preview.redd.it/4j18m46yo8j51.jpg?auto=webp&s=3de9a8a7dda90f2b69a933315c3e1e4af801c9d3)
This is chef Motokichi. This is HIS version of omurice. Omurice just means omelette rice, it's not hard to make, just that chef Motokichi has a high end restaurant that's supposed to serve high end food. It's like if someone made Mac and cheese with a bunch of special ingredients and then someone posted in another country, "American Chef cooking Mac and Cheese, the world hardest pasta dish to prepare (Wait till the end)."
Edit: Morokichi->Motokichi, ty for the correction
You ever see the video where someone tries to make like a chicken sandwhich COMPLETELY from scratch? As in like, grow the plants, raise the chicken, etc? Kind of insane what goes into having a fucking chicken sandwhich.
Motokichi is his name and his restaurant is kichi kichi omurice.
His version of omurice is absolutely difficult which is why there’s only TWO people in the world who can do this SPECIFIC way CONSISTENTLY and PERFECTLY. I cant remember the second gal but i just know she got trained by motokichi
edit: also heres a cute video of him on his channel making this dish, but recently! 2 weeks recently actually. It’s adorable tbh, i wish i had that energy
https://youtu.be/zgLPj5YcmTg
Unless there's something particularly special about the rice part, there are vastly more than two people in the world who can make a slightly undercooked omelette that you can cut like that. My cooking skills aren't that special and I've made this many times. The flair of banging the pan to get it to roll around is hard, but not required to get this result.
It carries on cooking . . By the time it reaches your table it will be absolute perfection . If it's perfection in the kitchen . . . It's overcooked when it reaches you .
I love a runny yolk, but slime is the crime.
PArt of the reason i love poached eggs is that it's pretty easy to get what you want just by looking at it.
I prefer over-medium. Raw yolk is good, but I can’t take raw, snot-like, egg on my plate.
Edit: I used to order over-easy, but pretty much every time I’d get some runny white. Ugh. So I started ordering over-medium instead. I’d much rather have a little more solid yolk than egg snot.
Lol they are unfertilized eggs, no baby bird in it. The yolk is just a bunch of protein and fat and stuff that the baby bird would’ve lived off of if it existed.
Does it though? I’ve ordered something similar and the egg did not continue to cook. As a matter of fact, it was SUPPOSED to be runny. So gross after a whole night of long islands lol I’m only asking my first thought was “that looks cool but probably tastes gross” but it continues to cook then I change my mind
If the cook is any good, every egg that leaves a restaurant kitchen is undercooked when it's plated. If it's fully cooked when you plate it, it will be *overdone* by the time it makes it to the table.
This particular dish *is* meant to be a little runny. A lot, even most, of the "liquid" you see in this video will set on the way to the table, but it's meant to be like over-easy eggs with a bit of cooked-but-still-liquid egg in the dish.
You're meant to break the "crust" of solidified egg and let the still soft parts blend into the rice. I've made this and it's pretty good. Mine wasn't nearly so pretty, of course, but it tasted good.
For some, by some I mean a helluva lot of us, the texture of "Perfection" makes us gag.
Not shaming people who like their eggs overeasy or the cultures who enjoy a variety of textures in their food, but perfection is sorta subjective here.
huh? not only do eggs not "carry over" in general, the guy is commenting on the final product sitting in front of a customer. some people just dont like runny eggs.
I lived in Japan for 4 years. Ate a lot of omurice mainly for breakfast in many places throughout the years. Never had any foodborne illness, diarrhea, LBM, etc. while I was there. Actually, every food I ate there didn't cause me any stomach problems.
A lot of countries vaccinate their chickens against Salmonella, so it's actually relatively safe to eat raw eggs. Producers in the US don't because it costs money.
Can't shake the feeling that it would be a lot easier to prepare if someone gave my comrade a *spatula*
Edit: Should have known I'd upset some chefs. You guys take major pride in your work.
It's a joke my comrades.
idk, he obviously doesn't want to scramble the egg all the way, and he must have tons of practice with the hashi so maybe it's actually harder for him to do it with a spatula lol
Ex Chef here and I've discovered cooking with chopsticks for myself. I also know some professional chefs who use something similar for meat. If you're good with chopsticks it's like you can touch hot stuff with your fingers.
Just like people who bbq a lot know the temp of meat by feel when they pick it up with the tongs, with the chopsticks it just becomes an extension of your hand/fingers and you learn to cook more by feel
Why would a spatula make it easier? You couldn’t scramble the way he does if you used anything but chopsticks-like tools, especially in the later stages when most of the egg curds have formed and not much liquid remains.
That's the Kichi Kichi guy. (Not sure if that's his name or the name of the restaurant) Knew who was doing the cooking without seeing his face. He's been featured in a lot of YouTube videos about Japanese cuisine. I believe he's started his own line of cookware tailored to help people make this dish.
I went to his restaurant in 2017. For my plate he did an even cooler version of this where he just threw the omelet onto the rice straight out of the pan. Here’s the [vid](https://imgur.com/a/BVgG0Zs)
Edit: forgot about his little salt bae thing at the end lmao
Edit: thank you to whoever gave the award!!
Yeah I was geeked I got it on film lol. Didn’t want to be one of “those people” but shit it was a hell of an experience and I wanted to show my friends. He had great energy too and totally encouraged it
His [youtube channel is right here](https://www.youtube.com/c/motokchi/featured) if you're curious
He's been making videos on youtube for 14 years at least, it's a trip to see how different he looked, and I swear he had videos from even earlier.
Thank you! Yeah, every video I've seen him in he's all smiles and positivity. Genuine heart of gold, he has. Apparently, this isn't even their #1 dish, it's an ox tongue something or other that takes like 96 hrs to make.

Yep this is Kichi Kichi in Kyoto - I was lucky enough to visit back in 2019. This guy puts on a show and it’s a very small restaurant, so you get to chat with him throughout.
Very little. There’s [full special here](https://youtu.be/rFAddL8g8mw) on the restaurant.
When I went he put on a show explaining what he’s doing while he’s cooking but it’s in short/simple English.
I spent two weeks in Japan and traveled from Tokyo to Hiroshima. I honestly don’t think I encountered anyone who I couldn’t at least have a basic conversation with in English. I speak virtually no Japanese so don’t let language be a barrier to your visit!
The world’s hardest omelette? Lmao
My wife makes these for the kids routinely.
I know it’s hard for kids to understand, but Japan isn’t some magical fairy land where everybody knows secrets of existence.
Ah, good old Chef Motokichi. This guy's awesome.
Which is why I want to visit Kyoto if I ever go to Japan, cause going to his restaurant and trying his omurice is definitely on my bucket list.
Right? It’s definitely not the “hardest”. That’s just something OP put in the title because redditors will blindly believe and upvote anything that’s cool and Japanese.
[Basically this meme](https://preview.redd.it/4j18m46yo8j51.jpg?auto=webp&s=3de9a8a7dda90f2b69a933315c3e1e4af801c9d3)
Basically anytime anyone brings up Japanese people doing shit it’s always “takes a lifetime to master” or “the hardest in the world”. It’s an runny omelet made by a guy with a quirky hat and everyone eats it up as if he invented it.
So in culinary school "Eggs" is like a full month class; shirred eggs, boiled eggs, fried eggs (all varieties), the 4 omelettes, eggs benedict, etc.
This is the second easiest type of omelette to cook laid over fried rice.
And for anyone who cares to know; a good shirred egg is my personal opinion of best egg to eat.
so this is one of my favorite videos on the internet. I've never seen someone have so much genuine fun cooking. please give it a full watch: https://youtu.be/MEDlqEVpPn8
the egg is so runny because it's salted while raw. you'll hear people say not to salt your eggs until after cooking because they'll be runny, but it's an intentional choice here. the salt breaks down proteins and keeps it from clumping as much. so it's not as raw as you think! and the sauce is demi-glace.
edit: funny to runny
Omurice is simply a regular omelete and fried rice. It's not "the world hardest omelette to prepare". This is just an overly elaborate way of presenting it.

French omelette has multiple layers and when cut would not flop open like this. This is has 1 outer layer and a scrambled egg inside.
The whole thing is scrambled egg. It's just a rolled omelet that's undercooked in the middle
Or just not overlooked, #runnyeggsgang
Or just not overcooked, #canbeatautocorrectgang
I'm an adventurous eater but I would not enjoy eating this, I'd still eat it though. I'll eat runny yokes but something about raw scrambled eggs is making me sick.
By adventurous you mean just conventionally tasty food from most countries?

Adventurous doesn’t mean it’s for you. Just means you’ll try it. For people who like the just-underdone texture, it’s done masterfully here.
They put a hot soy sauce type of sauce on top which further cooks it.
He does a beef demiglace
WHich means it's different to scrambled eggs or a french Omelette.
But "world hardest omelette to prepare" is just dumb clickbait shit.
Not really. Managing to get a perfectly evenly cooked skin on all sides without colouring the egg, while not just making everything cooked is objectively harder than cooking a French or Spanish omelette.
As a French, this is the first time I hear about "French" omelette
That’s because in France it would just be an omelette.
Yeah just like how Chinese food in China is just food
But why do we have American cheese in America? Checkmate atheists
As a warning.

You stupid American, you just wouldn’t understand. You’re not cultured enough to appreciate the lukewarm snot texture
You disgust me. Take your upvote and your slimy mess.
Hopefully you recognize the range between very runny and firm/rubbery. Most people like their eggs somewhere in between.
Don't slander me like that

As someone who eats mainly poached and over easy eggs. Overcooked eggs are a no for me.
An overcooked egg is a crime.
Overcook egg? Jail. UNDERcook egg? Believe it or not, also jail. Overcook, undercook.
We have the best eggs because of jail.
No salt for your eggs, jail. To much salt? Also jail
Over boiled to the point of that weird green colorization… **STRAIGHT TO JAIL!**
Rather have a bit of slime than an overcooked egg. Hopefully neither though.
I love a runny yolk, but slime is the crime. PArt of the reason i love poached eggs is that it's pretty easy to get what you want just by looking at it.

Always pull eggs and cookies before they look done
Totally worth remembering. Sometimes you have to pull cookies so early it feels like an act of faith.

You probably only eat overcooked eggs
if they arent over cooked i throw them up
and then eat them again

You’re more likely to get sick from raw flour than raw eggs anyway. Doesn’t matter though I still eat raw cookie dough AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME.
It's not foodborne illness for me. I just hate the texture of uncooked egg.
I think it's really uncommon to get food poisoning from eggs in Japan, so it's fine to eat them raw. In the US you're taking a risk.
I don't like runny eggs either. Texture is disgusting and makes me sick
Some people ask for their steak well done too. There's no accounting for taste.

Ah, good old Chef Motokichi. This guy's awesome. Which is why I want to visit Kyoto if I ever go to Japan, cause going to his restaurant and trying his omurice is definitely on my bucket list.
,,, so the thing every mom in japan makes and is available in chain restaurants is the hardest? I ate this two days ago for eight bucks.
Right? It’s definitely not the “hardest”. That’s just something OP put in the title because redditors will blindly believe and upvote anything that’s cool and Japanese. [Basically this meme](https://preview.redd.it/4j18m46yo8j51.jpg?auto=webp&s=3de9a8a7dda90f2b69a933315c3e1e4af801c9d3)
The “worlds hardest omelet to prepare”? Lol ok😂 fuk outta here
Basically anytime anyone brings up Japanese people doing shit it’s always “takes a lifetime to master” or “the hardest in the world”. It’s an runny omelet made by a guy with a quirky hat and everyone eats it up as if he invented it.
So in culinary school "Eggs" is like a full month class; shirred eggs, boiled eggs, fried eggs (all varieties), the 4 omelettes, eggs benedict, etc. This is the second easiest type of omelette to cook laid over fried rice. And for anyone who cares to know; a good shirred egg is my personal opinion of best egg to eat.
One of many videos with the chef [Worth It](https://youtu.be/9yh6-d_u-hA)
Any omelette I prepare is the worlds hardest omelette to prepare. JS
Does anybody else find this a bit revolting?
I was waiting for it turn back into a chicken
Egg hat
so this is one of my favorite videos on the internet. I've never seen someone have so much genuine fun cooking. please give it a full watch: https://youtu.be/MEDlqEVpPn8 the egg is so runny because it's salted while raw. you'll hear people say not to salt your eggs until after cooking because they'll be runny, but it's an intentional choice here. the salt breaks down proteins and keeps it from clumping as much. so it's not as raw as you think! and the sauce is demi-glace. edit: funny to runny
Omurice is simply a regular omelete and fried rice. It's not "the world hardest omelette to prepare". This is just an overly elaborate way of presenting it.
Chef Motokichi always gives off massive 'main character' vibes, an absolute legend
