Everyone who loves Japan must surely know of this recipe from anime, manga, drama or whatever. Omurice is a really popular plate and not that difficult either.

Omurice is a Japanese word for "omelet and rice." Seasoned and fried rice is wrapped or topped by omelet.

Ingredients: 4 cups steamed Japanese rice 1/2 lb. chicken breast, cut into small pieces 1 green peppers, cored and finely chopped 4 white mushrooms, sliced 1/2 onion, chopped salt and pepper to season 4 Tbsp ketchup vegetable oil for frying 8 eggs

Preparation: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet and saute chicken. Add onion, mushrooms, and green pepper in the skillet and saute together until softened. Add steamed rice in the pan and stir-fry together. Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Stop the heat and add ketchup and mix well. Set the seasoned rice aside. Heat about 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet. Beat two eggs in a small bowl and pour the egg in the skillet. Quickly spread the egg and make a round omelet. Place 1/4 of the seasoned rice in the middle of the omelet and fold top and bottom sides of omelet over the rice. Cover the frying pan with a plate and carefully turn them over to place the omerice on the plate. Repeat this process to make four omelet rice.
