TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: If you need a family meal that requires no special ingredients and that can be made in less than 30 minutes, Ketchup Pasta ( a Japanese westernized version of the traditional Omurice オムライス ), can be an interesting option.
The idea of adding ketchup into pasta would make italian people cringe, but if dome properly, it's really a wonderful dish.
The legend says that this dish originated in Yokohama in the '50s, when tomatoes were scarce and ketchup, imported by the american, was the only alternative available.

May 02, 2020 My mom used to make this when I was young. We couldn't go out much because we were quite poor so mom had to try different things to keep us interested in food. This recipe brought back wonderful childhood memories. Thank you |

So, I made this last night and I must say it was actually pretty good. Nothing to do with italian food but I'll definitely make it again.
