#2020fav - Omurice is a Japanese fried rice, topped with an omelette and a drizzle of some tomato sauce / ketchup. It is a very popular cuisine that is enjoyed by all, especially children. It is quite an unique recipe and the plating is just amazing. The classic version has chicken cubes, but I prepared with chicken sausages. In fact it can be prepared with pork, beef or bacon too.

Adding veggies to Omurice is purely optional. You can add any of your choice. I went in for some finely chopped carrot and french beans along with some frozen green peas. It is slightly on the sweeter side. To sum up it is a one-pot meal that is so simple, yet yummy and comforting. Every household has its own version of making this amazing dish.
