Omurice\ Japanese Omelete Rice

The word Omurice is a combination of Omelette and Rice. It is quite popular in Japanese households as well as restuarents. The rice is fried with meat (mostly chicken) or vegetables or both and is usually flavoured with tomato ketchup and salt and pepper. This fried rice is then wrapped in a thin sheet of fried egg and the fried egg is usually topped with ketchup again.

I learnt this recipe from one of my friend Kana who hails from Japan. Its a very simple recipe made authentic by its preparation style.

I fried the rice with vegetables and wrapped it in a thin sheet of fried egg and then topped it up with tomato ketchup. Looks Yummy Right :)

 6. Next take a plate, place the fried rice at the centre and top it up with some tomato ketchup.
