This name of this Japanese comfort food comes from English and means omelet and rice, but omurice (pronounced omuraisu) is so much more than omelet served with rice, as it comes with a hearty gravy and the egg itself is prepared in a unique and very exact way so that when you cut it up, it almost pours over the rice.
Ingredients for Omurice:
Worcestershire sauce - 2 tbsp.
Mirin - 1 tbsp. (alternative: dry sherry)
Teriyaki sauce - 1 tbsp.
Soy sauce - 1 tbsp.
Garlic powder - 1/4 tsp.

Salt and Pepper - as needed
Method of preparing the Omurice:
Mix Worcestershire sauce, mirin, soy sauce, teriyaki, garlic powder,
and ketchup in a pan and heat until the sauce reaches a boil, then
stop. If too thick, add water.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pan and add the onion. Fry until soft
and lightly browned.
Add ketchup, salt, and pepper into the same pan, and then stir.
Finally, add the rice and toss the contents together to evenly
distribute the flavors. Plate the rice in an oval shape.
