In Japanese cuisine, Yoshoku (Yōshoku, 洋食 : means Western food) refers to a style of Western-influenced cooking which originated during the Meiji Restoration (1868-). For more detail about Yoshoku, refer wikipediaActually Yoshoku means "Western food" in Japanese, but now a days Yoshoku is recognized as a Japanese dish in Western countries!. Curry rice, Korokke, Tonkatsu, etc...Japanese think those are western foods, but Westerners think those are Japanese foods.
This time I introduce Japanese chicken rice which is one of a popular Yoshoku in Japan. It's my favorite Yoshoku.
Stir fry Japanese rise, chicken, onion and other vegetables with Tomato Ketchup.
Other version of a chicken rice is cooked like a pilaf rather than being fried. I like this version.Japanese chicken rice is also a basic component of Omurice and Doria.
