I think Omurice, or Japanese omelette rice, is pretty well-known and popular in Asian countries. In Japan, Omurice is considered yōshoku (Western food). The rice is usually pan-fried with ketchup and chicken, then wrapped in a thin sheet of egg omelette - blending Western omelette and Japanese fried rice. Traditionally, it’s made exactly like an omelette and the chicken rice is wrapped in the thin sheet of egg. However, in the recent years, there are places that ditched the thin papery egg for a luscious blanket of soft scrambled eggs on top.

Sweet, sour and savory fried rice packed with crispy vegetables makes it a good single plate meal to prepare whenever there's leftover rice :)

The omelette and sweet tomato-flavored rice complements each other well :)
