omurice

Omurice combines an omelette with rice fried in tomato ketchup. Chicken and vegetables such as onion and carrot can be cooked with the rice. In the wrapped form, the rice is placed on the egg in the pan and the omelette is folded around it before serving, often with more ketchup on top.[1][2]

Its name combines omelette and rice, and the dish belongs to yoshoku, Japanese cooking that adapts Western dishes. It is served at home, in Western-style restaurants and in coffee shops. Another form places a soft omelette on a bed of rice and cuts it open to spread the egg over the rice.[2]
