Japanese Pork Fried Rice Omelette With Okonomiyaki Sauce (Omurice) Recipe
"[Photograph: Vicky Wasik] Japan's omurice, which also goes by the names omumeshi and omuraisu, is an addictive dish of fried rice served with an omelette. It's surprisingly easy to make at home. In this recipe, inspired by a version served at a restaurant in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, the rice is fried with cabbage and diced pork belly or bacon, then tossed with sweet-savory okonomiyaki sauce. (The sauce is typically served with the Japanese pancake that's also called okonomiyaki, but here it gets to play a new role.)..."
