OMURICE, OR JAPANESE OMELETTE RICE
This recipe has been posted here for play in Culinary Quest - Japan. Recipe found at website: justonecookbook.com Recipe by Namiko Chen of Just One Cookbook. Namiko says this is a perfect single dish meal to make with leftover rice. The rice is usually pan-fried with ketchup and chicken, then wrapped in a thin sheet of egg omelette. From preparation to completion it only takes a quick 20 minutes and the softly-cooked omelette and sweet tomato-flavored rice compliment each other perfectly.

- Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the onion until softened.
- Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink.

- Add ketchup and soy sauce and combine everything evenly and put the fried rice on a plate. Wash the pan, you will still need it.
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a small bowl.
- Heat the oil in the pan over medium high heat (make sure the surface of the pan is nicely coated with oil).

- Put the cheese and the fried rice on top of the egg.
- Use the spatula to fold both sides of the omelette toward the middle to cover the fried rice. Slowly move the omelette to the edge of the pan.
