"Ever Egg Omelette Rice with Plant-Based Demi-Glace Sauce (1,210 yen)"
"2foods," known for creating healthy junk food, collaborated with the famous ketchup brand "Kagome" to develop a plant-based egg called "Ever Egg." This egg substitute closely mimics the taste of real eggs using ingredients like carrots and white kidney beans, making it a sustainable food option. The omelette rice made with Ever Egg comes in two varieties: ketchup and demi-glace. This review focuses on the demi-glace version. The Ever Egg omelette has a soft, fluffy texture similar to a half-cooked omelette, but the taste lacks the richness of real eggs, leaving a somewhat unsatisfying feeling. The rice is firm with less moisture, resembling ketchup-flavored rice. The ingredients include corn and soy-based meat, which remarkably resembles the texture of chicken and has a flavor reminiscent of chicken meat when soaked in Worcestershire sauce. However, the overall seasoning is a bit light, so it's recommended to eat it with the sauce. The demi-glace sauce, also plant-based without any beef, is made using the umami of several vegetables, resulting in a thin, savory sauce similar to Worcestershire sauce. The sauce plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall flavor since the omelette and rice lack a strong taste. While it may not surpass traditional omelette rice, the surprise of achieving such flavors without using animal-derived ingredients is commendable. If this initiative contributes to a sustainable society, it might be worth considering replacing regular omelette rice with this option. However, the portion size is slightly small, making it a bit pricey for an omelette rice dish.
