omurice15 300x224 Omurice Recipe

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

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.
