Lovely pet-shaped omelets hit Japan
In Japan, there is a typical dish called omurice, which is characterized by bringing grains of fried rice into an omelet, with some ketchup or sauce on top of the food - omu means omelet and rice means rice. It is a popular dish in the country, usually made at home and quickly, for morning meals or when there are no more elaborate options in the kitchen.
