Finally, the family is coming together again over Labor Day weekend. Ashley arrived first and asked for Omirice. I looked up the recipe on the net; that creamy football-like omelette is a little daunting!

Fried rice and runny omelette dressed in ketchup are the key components of Omurice. I am going to dress this dish in my childhood favorite ketchup baked beans instead.

Homestyle fried rice and ketchup baked beans is a killer combo indeed. I ate it three meals in a row. Never gets old.. Yum 😋.
