Traditionally, Omurice does not come with cute face rice balls (everybody say ahhhh). It's just I found this really cool seaweed face stamper in a shop that same day and really wanted to use it!

Usually ketchup is squirted on the top, but I don't like detest the horrible minging red stuff so I used bbq sauce instead. To be honest, no sauce is just as good if your filing is yummy.
Ingredients (makes 2):
3 or 4 eggs
Splash of milk
Rice - I can never measure rice correctly so just do what you want!
Onion - I used spring onion and garlic chives, but regular onion is more traditional.
Carrot - chopped finely
Rice seasoning (if you want more flavour - consists of salt, pepper, seaweed pieces and dried veg)
Splash of soy sauce
A teaspoon (or less) of crushed garlic
Chili powder if you want a lil' kick
Butter.
If you eat meat, then either add chicken or ham for best results.

Directions
- Dice the vegetables
- Fry the vegetables with some butter until soft (not healthy, but tastes goood!). Then add the already cooked rice and soy sauce / chili powder and stir fry. Set aside.
- Mix 3 or 4 eggs together with a sprinkle of salt and pepper
- Add butter a pan and when it is really hot, add the egg. Make a thin omelet.
- Pile the veg in the to center of the omelet and then fold up each side. Ideally it should be folded in to a half-moon sort of shape like this.
- Flip the omurice over on to your plate and squirt on a bit of sauce. Hey Presto!

To make the rice balls, just squeeze some cooled down rice in to balls and add seaweed shapes to make a face. You can buy special seaweed stamps for this purpose if your're not feeling very artistic!
