It blends the two English words \u201comelet\u201d and \u201crice\u201d for a clever combination that rolls off your tongue \u2013 omurice. Omurice is basically an egg omelet filled with a flavorful fried rice center and drizzled (or drenched!) in ketchup. This dish is especially a hit with children, and schools will often serve it as a lunchtime meal. For the adults and the rest of the family craving this dish, it typically takes only 20 minutes to cook, so it\u2019s a win-win for everyone!<\/p>\n<p><strong>History<\/strong><br \/>\nOmurice is said to have been invented at a Western-inspired restaurant in Tokyo\u2019s Ginza district when Western-style cafes were becoming widespread. It was so popular that it quickly spread to Korea and Taiwan, and today, different versions of the dish can be found in restaurants all over Asia and in the US.<\/p>\n<p>This type of fusion cuisine that marries Japanese cuisine with influence from the west is referred to as\u00a0\u201cy\u014dshoku,\u201d and omurice is just one example.

There are many ways to make omurice to suit you or your child\u2019s palate. Some suggestions:<\/p>\n<p>Rice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One popular method is to flavor the fried rice with ketchup, which gives the dish a red tinge and a mixture of sweet and savory flavors<\/li>\n<li>Chicken rice is the widely accepted filling for this dish, but others can make a vegetarian option if they prefer. The most common veggies include carrots, peas, mushrooms, and onions. Feel free to add other vegetables for a more nutrient-rich meal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sauce:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are no limitations when it comes to sauce for this dish.
