Omurice
A cute and funny video of how to make Omurice. Courtesy of reader Darryl M.
Do you know what Omurice is? It’s a very thin omelet filled with fried rice then drizzled on top with ketchup. Growing up, going to Japanese restaurants were filled with the anticipation of eating this fun dish. It’s a very common item on the kid’s menu. In fact, I’ve never really noticed any grown-up eating it. Basically, it’s kid food. When I got older, I would get this as a side to my Japanese grown-up meal.
In Atlanta, you’ll find more omurice in Korean restaurants than anywhere else. I love the Korean version — rice, stir-fried in ketchup with beef, eggs, peas, and carrots. The picture above was a $7.95 platter that came with a huge omurice, a big piece of tonkatsu, and cabbage salad. Banchan and hot soup all complete the meal. Yum.

Hi there that food looks amazing. Me and wife are always looking for someplace new to eat and I have to say this is very tempting. I have never thought of filling an omelet with fried rice. This is something me and my wife will have to try out.

I ate those in China sometimes but I never knew what they were! They were so weird and so yummy!! Glad to know I can get one in America if I ever get a craving

That is total comfort food right there. I can’t remember how many times we had that when my mom just didn’t want to make anything more complicated. I make a half-a$$ed version at home, when I’m feeling nostalgic.
