This dish is super easy, and it takes only 5 minutes to cook. It’s good as a breakfast for busy people. It’s very common for Japanese people to put a tomato ketchup on top of the omelette, but you can substitute the ketchup with a hot sauce or a cream sauce or anything you like.

Ingredients (1 plate):

  • 1 egg
