Omurice or omu-rice (オムライス, Omu-raisu) is an example of yōshoku (a Western-influenced style of Japanese cuisine[1]) consisting of an omelette made with fried rice and thin, fried scrambled eggs, usually topped with ketchup.[2][3] It is a popular dish both commonly cooked at home and often found at western style diners in Japan. Children in particular enjoy omurice. It is often featured in Japan's version of a children's meal, okosama-ranchi (error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required (help)).[1]
Etymology
With omu and raisu being derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the English words omelette and rice,[4] the name is an example of gairaigo.
History
Omurice is said to have originated around the turn of the 20th century[4] at a western-style restaurant in Tokyo's Ginza district called Renga-tei, inspired by chakin-zushi.[5] The dish was brought to Korea and Taiwan, and it is popular cuisine.[6] It is a fixture on gimbap restaurant menus throughout South Korea, where it is rendered as "오므라이스 (omeuraiseu)" in Hangul.[7]
Variations
The dish typically consists of chikin raisu (chicken rice: rice pan-fried with ketchup and chicken) wrapped in a thin sheet of fried scrambled eggs. The ingredients flavoring the rice vary. Often, the rice is fried with various meats (but typically chicken) and/or vegetables, and can be flavored with beef stock, ketchup, demi-glace, white sauce or simply salt and pepper. Sometimes, rice is replaced with fried noodles (yakisoba) to make omusoba. A variant in Okinawa is omutako, consisting of an omelette over taco rice. Fried hotdog and Spam are also two popular meats to include in the dish.
