Genjo Omurice with Eggshell and Rice Scrambled Together

The signature omelette at Lian Wa Ting is called Genjo Omurice on the menu, which is different from what we know as “omelette with rice”, but is closer to a dish where the egg, rice and toppings are scrambled together and then molded into a shape.
