Omurice is a legendary dish. It is commonly show in animes at maid cafes. Cute images and words are usually drawn onto the omelette with ketchup. There is also the famous runny omurice that splits in half and almost melts as you cut into it, but it requires a lot of skill to make. Instead we will focus on the simpler classic version. It is a chicken fried rice topped with a basic omelette drizzled lightly with ketchup. This is something that you can eat everyday!
