Omurice is one of my favorite Japanese foods to eat for lunch! I remember ordering it all the time at Japanese Restaurants as a child. Omelette + Rice = Omurice. Omurice is a ketchup flavored chicken rice wrapped with fried egg. It’s often decorated with ketchup. This recipe is very simple to make and great for bentos and children.

Ingredients:

1 bowl of cooked rice
2 large eggs
2 oz diced onion
3 oz chicken breast (cut into cubes)
1/4 cup cut corn and peas
1 tablespoon olive oil (or other oil)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Pasta Sauce (I used Ragu)
1 1/2 tablespoon ketchup (for the rice)
Ketchup in a squeeze bottle (to decorate)
Salt & Pepper for seasoning

Makes 1 to 2 servings

Cooking Instructions:

Step 1: Beat 2 large eggs and lightly season with salt and pepper. Put aside.

Step 2: Heat a large pan or wok and add oil. Saute the chicken, onions, and minced garlic at high heat until the chicken is cooked.

Step 3: When chicken is cooked, add corn and peas and saute for about 30 seconds. Next, add ketchup and pasta sauce and stir for 1 minute.

Step 4: Add the bowl of rice and stir well. Season with salt to your taste (I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt). Continue stirring for a minute. Now, put the chicken rice aside.

Step 5: Heat pan or wok and coat with cooking spray or oil. Twirl the beaten eggs around the wok (spreading it thinly). The eggs will be cooked almost instantly.

Step 6: Add the chicken rice to the center and bring the edges of the egg together (the rice doesn’t have to be completely sealed).

Step 7: Carefully flip the egg wrapped rice onto a plate. Decorate with ketchup.
