Japanese Tamago Egg image

Tamago egg is classic Japanese folded omelet sometimes called tamagoyaki. The omelet is sweet, has a light texture, and works well when served over sushi rice and with soy and wasabi sauce for dipping. Tamago is the Japanese word for egg. Mirin is sweet rice wine and dashi is traditional Japanese soup stock (make from kelp or shiitake). These ingredients are now carried in most larger grocery stores or at Asian markets.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs
¼ cup prepared dashi stock
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
½ teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon vegetable oil, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Beat eggs thoroughly in a bowl; whisk in dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce until sugar has dissolved.
  • Place a nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat. Oil the pan with vegetable oil. Pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the hot pan and swirl to coat pan.
  • When egg layer is firm on the bottom but still slightly liquid on top, lift up about 1 inch of the edge of the omelet with a spatula and fold end over remaining egg layer; continue rolling the omelet to the end and push the roll to the edge of the skillet. Oil the skillet again if it looks dry; pour another thin layer of egg into the skillet and lift the roll to let the egg flow underneath the omelet roll. Fold the omelet roll over the new layer of egg, continuing to roll to the end as before. Push omelet to edge of skillet.
  • Pour a new egg layer into the skillet, oiling the pan if needed. Roll the omelet over to incorporate the next egg layer into the roll. Pour new layers and roll into the omelet until all egg mixture has been used. Remove omelet to a serving platter and cut into 6 equal pieces to serve.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not very good at cooking eggs. But I'm so glad I did! The tamagoyaki turned out perfectly. It was fluffy, moist, and had a beautiful golden color. I'm definitely going to make this again.

I've made tamagoyaki before, but this recipe was by far the easiest to follow. The step-by-step instructions and pictures were really helpful. My tamagoyaki turned out perfectly cooked and looked just like the ones in the pictures.

This tamago recipe is a keeper! The eggs turned out so fluffy and flavorful. I used a non-stick pan and cooked them over low heat, which I think helped to achieve the perfect texture. I also added a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
