Omu rice (Japanese style Rice omelette). Omurice (オムライス, Omu-raisu) is a Japanese cuisine consisting of ketchup-based fried rice and omelet. The word omurice is the portmanteau of two words - omelet and rice. Omurice or Omuraisu, made from the combined words of omelet and rice (raisu in Japanese), is basically that— but with a Japanese twist.
It is basically an omelette with ketchup-flavoured chicken fried rice inside it.
The word 'omurice' or 'omuraisu' (オムライス) is a typical Japanese-made English dish.
It's made by combining omelette and rice.

Classic Omu-rice (Japanese Rice Omelet) Omu-rice is a staple dish in Japanese cuisine. Rice stir-fried with ketchup, chicken and vegetables is wrapped in an omelet and topped with more ketchup. Today's recipe is Omurice, or Japanese Omelette Rice. I received a lot of requests from readers for this recipe and I was a bit surprised how popular this dish is.
Omu rice (Japanese style Rice omelette) instructions
- Heat the oil in the pan and sauté chicken and vegetables on medium heat. Season with ketchup, a pinch of salt and black pepper BEFORE adding the steamed rice. This is a tip to season evenly. Then add the rice and mix well..
- Beat eggs with milk and a pinch of salt. Set another pan (I normally use 8') and heat the oil. Then spread the half of beaten egg. When the egg comes half cooked, put one small bowl of cooked rice..
- Slide it to the opposite side of the handle, and fold far side toward yourself using chopsticks or turner. Then fold front side to cover the half of the rice like the photo. If you can make omelette nocking the handle, it's of course the best way to rap the rice beautifully into the egg!.
- It requires a small technique to shift the omurice to a plate. You can do as you like and find your way, but as for me, I set a plate just under the edge of the pan where the omurice is, and move the pan like to cover the plate. Make the shape wth kitchen cloth or paper if necessary. Enjoy with ketchup or tomato sauce or demi-glace sauce..
At most Japanese restaurants we have in the Bay Area, Omurice is not even on the menu, but I think this dish is pretty well-known and popular in Asian countries outside of Japan. A plain omelet cloaks ketchup-flavored fried rice, often called "chicken rice" even when it's made with ham or bacon, or no meat at all. It belongs to the category of so-called Western food know as yoshoku. This one takes cues from omurice served at countless kissaten, Japanese diners, but it most closely resembles a recipe from the London. In one common rendition, the rice is fried with ketchup, and extra ketchup is squeezed on top as a garnish.
