DELICIOUS JAPANESE OMURICE A Japanese friend of mine once said, in Japan most people know how to make Omurice, just as Vietnamese people know how to cook noodles. Back then during the Meiji period, an important period in Japan's modernization, Japanese adopted the way of European cooking their Omelette and created their own version Omelette with fried rice: Omu-rice. Omurice is simply an omelette stuffed with rice and flavored with ketchup. This dish soon became a mainstay in Japanese cuisine. This "national dish" is very familiar, as it features in many popular mangas, and comics such as Midnight Dinner and Kitchen no Ohimesame. Unlike American's Egg 's Benedict, which looks simple yet is very sophisticated, Japanese Omurice seems to be tough with many ingredients: meat, beans, onions, carrots, mushrooms, peppers and sauce, but it is extremely simple to cook, even for beginners. All you need to do is to mix all of the ingredients together and fry them up before wrapping them inside the omelette. The first curry Omurice recipes entered Japan in 1872 thanks to English sailors. There is a unique variant of Omurice, instead of using rice, you can use dried noodles, Yakisoba, to prepare Omusoba dishes. This November, why don't you prepare Omurice for picnic brunches with friends? TRAVELLIVE 83
