Omurice with Chicken Recipe ( チキンオムライス )
Recipes > Japanese Recipes > Japanese Main Dish Recipes > Japanese Omurice Recipes
TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Omurice with Chicken Recipe ( チキンオムライス ) is a very popular modern Japanese dish that blends Western Omelette and Japanese fried rice. It is cooked at home, especially if kids are around, and virtually anywhere else in Japan, from small to large restaurants. Even kid's menus have almost always the Omurice option.
The addition of Chicken allows you to add some meat to a vegetarian dish that will leave you either way satisfied.
From preparation to completion it will only take you about 20 minutes. The softly-cooked omelette and the ketchup flavored Rice complements each other very well.
FYI, kids love it with a ton of ketchup on top.
History:
Omurice is said to have originated around the turn of the 20th century at a western-style restaurant in Tokyo's Ginza district called Renga-tei, inspired by chakin-zushi. The dish was brought to Korea and Taiwan, and it is popular cuisine.[6] It is a fixture on gimbap restaurant menus throughout South Korea, where it is rendered as "오므라이스 (omeuraiseu)" in Hangul.

06 - And now add the cooked Rice to the frying pan and cook mixing for 3 minutes.
07 - Season the Rice with Salt and Pepper.
