About this dish

Chahan (Japanese: チャーハン, 炒飯, Hepburn: chāhan), also known as yakimeshi (Japanese: 焼飯, 焼き飯), is a Japanese fried rice dish prepared with rice as a primary ingredient and many optional additional ingredients and seasonings. The dish is typically fried, and can be cooked in a wok. Chahan may have originated in the 1860s from Chinese immigrants arriving at the port of Kobe. Chahan is a staple food in homes in Japan. Some restaurants outside Japan serve the dish as a part of their fare.
