Ingredients

  • 4 egg
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp dashi power
  • pinch of salt
  • Neutral oil to coat pan

Instructions

  • In a measuring cup, crack in 4 eggs and whisk until smooth. Make sure to whisk throughly. This will take a few minutes.
  • Once egg is smooth, mix in rest of the ingredients: mirin, sugar, dashi powder, salt. Mix well until sugar and dashi powder is fully dissolved.
  • In a rectangle pan, turn on heat to low and oil entire pan. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.
  • Pour a thin layer of tamagoyaki mixture (about half centimeter in height). Pop any air bubbles you see.
  • Once it is 80% cooked, start rolling the opposite side of the egg towards you. With every roll, make sure to put a little pressure so the eggs stick together
  • Once you roll the egg towards you, you should have a little egg roll.
  • Push the egg to the opposite side
  • Oil pan and wipe off excess.
  • Then pour the egg mixture about half cm in height.
  • Lift the cooked egg so the egg mixture can seep beneath it. This will create a seamless roll.
  • Once 80% cooked, roll the cooked side of the egg over onto the new egg mixture. Put a little pressure again to flatten out the top. You should start to see a rectangle shape forming.
  • Roll over again until you reach the end of the pan closest to you.
  • Slide the cooked egg to the opposite side and repeat the process 3-4 more times until the egg mixture is gone.
  • By the end of the egg mixture, you should get a rectangle shaped egg omelet.
  • Remove off heat and let it cool before cutting
  • Once it cools down a bit, slice into quarter inch thickness and plate
  • Serve as a side dish or put in bento and enjoy!
