Chahan (Japanese: チャーハン/炒飯, Hepburn: chāhan), also known as Yakimeshi (Japanese: 焼飯 or 焼き飯), is a Japanese fried rice dish prepared with rice as a primary ingredient and myriad 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.[1] Some restaurants outside Japan serve the dish as a part of their fare.

Chahan is a Japanese fried rice dish that is typically fried, and can be cooked by stir frying it in a wok.[3][1] Rice is used as a primary ingredient, and a wide range of additional ingredients can be used including scrambled egg, vegetables, onion, garlic, edible mushrooms such as shiitake, tofu, pork, as well as seafoods such as crab meat, roe, and shrimp.[1][4][5][6][7] Oils such as canola oil, sesame oil and sunflower oil are used to fry the dish.[1][6] The dish can be seasoned with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper and katsuobushi, a dried and flaked tuna product.[6][7]Shiso, an Asian culinary herb, may also be used to flavor chahan.[8]Nori, a dried edible seaweed product, can be used as a garnish.[8]
The use of a hot wok for frying and cooking chahan quickly can prevent the rice from sticking to the pan, and using warm rice also prevents pan sticking.[2] The use of pre-cooked and refrigerated rice is also conducive toward enhancing the cooking process.[1][8]
