About the Recipe

If there is one dish that I can guarantee will be on a Japanese family table at least once a week, it's this - omurice. Not only is this dish a great way to feed the family in under 30 minutes, it's also a great way to use leftover rice hanging around in the fridge.

1/4 bell pepper, finely chopped


1 rasher bacon, chopped

4 tbsps tomato ketchup


180g cooked white rice


4 eggs


salt & pepper


2.5 tbps oil for frying1/2 onion, finely chopped
