Omurice, or Japanese omelette rice, is a popular home-cooked dish originating in Japan. It is ketchup-flavored fried rice wrapped in a sheet of soft-cooked egg curds. Wrapping the fried rice is the most difficult part, but with the Naoko-sensei’s recipe, you can avoid the hassle. But still you can enjoy the best part of omurice: the savory ketchup rice and fluffy half-cooked eggs.
