Omu Soba (Omusoba, オムそば) is Yakisoba noodles wrapped with a thin egg crepe, looking like an omelette. It’s found at a lot of Okonomiyaki restaurants in Japan that also serve Yakisoba noodles. At a restaurant, skilled Okonomiyaki cooks make noodles and thin round eggs, wrap noodles with the egg on the hot griddles using two Okonomiyaki spatulas right in front of you. That may be hard for us to imitate at home. However, it is not hard to make Omu Soba yourself with a frying pan.
Omurice, omelet rice, is fried rice seasoned with ketchup and wrapped with a crepe-like thinly fried egg. It is one of the most loved western-style dishes in Japan for a long time.
