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.

TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE SWEET OMELET)

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.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 8m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons dashi (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon mirin
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Using a paper towel, wipe a little bit of the oil over the pan; reserve the rest of the oil.
  • Gently whisk the eggs in a bowl. It's best to "cut" the eggs with chopsticks in zig-zag motion and do not over mix it.
  • Add the dashi, sugar, soy sauce, mirin and salt. Mix gently.
  • Pour the mixture into a measuring cup with spout and handle (so that it'll be easier to pour into the frying pan).
  • Pour a thin layer of egg mixture in the pan, tilting to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Poke the air bubbles to release the air. After the bottom of the egg has set but still soft on top, start rolling into a log shape from one side to the other.
  • Move the rolled omelette to the side where you started to roll, and apply more oil to the pan with a paper towel, even under the omelette.
  • Pour the egg mixture to cover the bottom of the pan again. Make sure to lift the omelette to spread the mixture underneath.
  • Continue this process until all the egg mixture has been used up.
  • Remove from the pan and place the omelette on a bamboo mat and wrap it up. Shape the egg when it is still hot. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
