Omurice comes from two words, omelette + rice. The dish originally comes from Japanese cuisine but it has become so popular in Korea over time that now it has become a part of Korean cuisine. In particular, it is usually a part of a Korean food category called Bunsik.
Now, let me talk a little about Bunsik. What does Bunsik mean? Bunsik 粉食 분식 literally means "food made from flour" but in reality, it has become to mean a certain group of Korean dishes that are inexpensive, attractive to younger crowds and is also great as snacks. Tteokbokki, Udon, Oden soup, Kimbap, Twigim, Mandu and other noodle dishes like ramen are some very classic menu items at a Bunsik restaurant.
So since when and how was Bunsik ever came to exist?
