Fast, easy, simple, delicious. Even a klutz like me can manage to make it in no time. It adds a whole lot of flavor to those every day eggs. I made this recipe this morning. It was delicious and left me wanting more. Traditional tamagoyaki is not as flat and uses several eggs, but this is great when you just want a little snack or for breakfast. Kids with a sweet tooth will love it.

TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE ROLLED OMELET)



Tamagoyaki (Japanese Rolled Omelet) image

Tamagoyaki, a Japanese staple, is made by carefully rolling several thin layers of cooked egg into a rectangular omelet, which creates a soft and delicate texture. Traditionally, it's made in a special tamagoyaki pan, but this version also works with an 8-inch nonstick skillet. There are sweet and savory variations, and this recipe falls somewhere in between the two: The soy sauce, mirin and dashi pack it with umami, while the sugar adds a subtle sweetness. The technique can be challenging at first, but do your best to keep each layer consistent in color and each fold parallel to the last. Don't worry about little tears; they'll be covered up with the next layer.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon white soy sauce or 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon dashi stock, optional (see Tip)
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon neutral oil, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine eggs, mirin, soy sauce, dashi (if using) and sugar. Whisk until well combined.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a tamagoyaki pan or a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium. Using a small piece of folded paper towel, carefully wipe the excess oil from the pan and set aside paper towel (you will need it to grease the pan for each egg layer).
  • Pour about 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the pan and quickly tilt the pan, swirling the egg mixture around to create an even layer. If there are thicker areas, gently poke a small hole at the thickest point with chopsticks and tilt and swirl the pan to cover exposed areas with more raw egg to form an even layer.
  • After the layer is cooked, about 1 minute, using chopsticks or a rubber spatula, gently lift the egg edges on the farthest side to loosen the layer's grip. While tilting the pan, carefully fold the egg about 1/4 of the way toward yourself. Continue to fold the egg equally on itself until you have a narrow, rectangular omelet at the edge of the pan nearest you. Reduce the heat to medium-low if the egg is browning.
  • Using the paper towel, lightly grease the exposed area of the pan. Pour another 3 tablespoons of the remaining egg mixture into the exposed area of the pan and quickly swirl it around to create another layer. Use chopsticks or a soft spatula to gently lift up the folded omelet and tilt the pan toward you so the raw egg mixture runs under the omelet.
  • Once the layer is cooked, gently roll the omelet away from you in three to four flips. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 with remaining three layers, greasing the pan before each additional layer. The number of flips will decrease as the omelet grows in size with each additional layer.
  • Transfer omelet to a cutting board or a plate when done. Cut crosswise into four pieces and rotate, cut side up, to show egg layers. (If using a nonstick 8-inch skillet, you can trim both ends of the omelet to make them even.) Serve immediately or chill for later.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and breaking.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat: If the skillet is too hot, the omelet will cook too quickly and won't have a chance to set properly.
  • Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet: Too much oil will make the omelet greasy.
  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Whisk the eggs thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth and even omelet.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet in a thin, even layer: This will help to ensure that the omelet cooks evenly.
  • Cook the omelet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is set: Do not overcook the omelet, or it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the omelet immediately: Omelets are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the skillet.
