Tricks to make thick, non-flat omelettes without wheat flour, just use rice.

Brilio.net - Who can resist the deliciousness of an omelet? This simple menu is always a favorite of many people because it tastes savory, is easy to make, and can be created according to taste. From breakfast to dinner, omelets are almost always present on the dining table.

One of the challenges when making an omelet is keeping the texture thick and not deflating after it is cooked. Many people try to add flour to the egg mixture to make it denser. Unfortunately, this method can actually make the eggs difficult to expand and feel heavier.

But don't worry! There's a simple trick you can try to make a thicker omelet without the need for additional flour. This method was shared by a YouTube user @menu.berbuka and immediately caught the attention of many people. With easily available ingredients, you can make a Padang-style omelet that is thick, dense, and remains soft even when cold.

Instead of using wheat flour, you can replace it with rice as an additional ingredient in the omelet batter. Rice provides a denser texture and helps the eggs expand more perfectly. Interestingly, the rice used does not have to be new rice. You can use leftover rice that is still edible.

Materials Needed:
- 200 grams of rice
- 2 sausages (optional, can be replaced with other ingredients such as shredded chicken or vegetables)
- 2 stalks of spring onions, finely sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp stock powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper powder

1. Mix All Ingredients

Prepare a container, then add rice as the main additional ingredient. Rice will replace the role of wheat flour to add volume without making the dough too dense.

3. Beat the eggs and mix well

Crack the egg into a bowl containing the rice mixture and other ingredients. Stir all the ingredients until they are completely mixed.

4. Fry with the right technique

Heat a teflon pan with a little oil. Pour the omelette mixture and smooth it with a spoon so that the thickness is even.

5. Wait Until the Bottom is Cooked

Let the omelet cook slowly over medium heat. When the bottom begins to dry and brown, gently flip the egg to keep it intact.

6. Cook until perfectly cooked

Continue frying until both sides of the omelet are evenly cooked and golden brown. Once cooked, remove and serve.

Yes, rice helps add volume and texture without making the eggs feel too heavy or dense like when using wheat flour.

2. Can I use cold rice or leftover rice?

Yes! Cold rice or leftover rice that is still edible is actually better because it blends better with the egg mixture.
