Eggstraordinary Omurice

Omurice (or Japanese ketchup fried rice) is one of the first recipes that I learned while living in Japan. Remember that every recipe for things is different, so this is the interpretation of Omurice that I always use.

Since Omurice was one of the first dishes that I learned to make, it always makes me nostalgic when cooking it and enjoying it. In fact, I might go make Omurice for dinner. Hopefully, this recipe will strike you like it strikes me, and it will end up in your weekly rotation for dinners.

Ingredients (1 serving):

1 chicken breast

1-2 cups of rice (check out my other blog post on how to make amazing sticky rice)

1/2 package of frozen veggies

1/2-1 yellow onion

2 eggs

Salt and pepper

Ketchup

Japanese Mayonnaise (optional but highly encouraged)
