Omurice
Omurice is ketchup-seasoned fried rice, usually with chicken, wrapped in a thin omelette and topped with more ketchup or a brown demi-glace. The nostalgic version has a firm folded egg; the modern 'tornado' or tableside-cut version has a soft, barely-set egg that spills open over the rice. It is diner and home food, strongly tied to childhood.
