OMURICE

 
     

Omurice (Omu-raisu) is a contemporary Japanese dish consisting of an omelet made with fried rice. Its name is a portmanteau of the French word "omelette" and the English word "rice". It is a popular dish both commonly cooked at home and can be found at many western style diners and izakaya restaurants in Japan. It is also a popular dish in many restaurants in South Korea.

ingredients that flavor the rice vary. Often, the rice is fried with various meats (but typically chicken) and/or vegetables, and can be flavored with beef stock, sriracha, ketchup, white sauce or just salt and pepper. Sometimes, the rice is replaced with fried noodles, yakisoba, instead of fried rice, to make omusoba.

Omurice is said to have originated at a western style restaurant called Renga-tei in Tokyo's Ginza district around the turn of the 19th century.
