No reviews

Omurice is a comforting Japanese dish that wraps savory fried rice in a soft omelet and is topped with a drizzle of ketchup. It’s colorful, flavorful, and easy to customize with different proteins and vegetables.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup diced chicken breast
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • ½ cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp ketchup (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients by dicing chicken, chopping vegetables, and measuring rice.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until done. Add onion and carrot; cook until softened. Stir in peas and rice, season with soy sauce, and mix until heated through.
  3. Whisk eggs in a bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate skillet, pour in half the eggs and swirl to coat. Cook until just set but slightly runny on top.
  5. Spoon half the rice mixture onto one side of the omelet and gently fold the omelet over the filling.
  6. Slide the omelet onto a plate, seam-side down, and drizzle with ketchup. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for best texture.
  • Customize with shrimp, tofu, or different vegetables.
  • Try alternative sauces like tonkatsu or Japanese mayo for variety.
  • Cover with a damp towel when reheating in the microwave to prevent drying out.
