Tamagoyaki (Japanese Omelette)
Eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients in your fridge so I love to have a few handy recipes. This is one of my favorite appetizer dishes at Japanese restaurants. Though skill-wise is probably one of the harder dishes, ingredient-wise it’s pretty simple. With some patience and practice, you too can perfect this dish, but probably not a good idea to make for more than 1-2 people. Enjoy!
Serves: 1-2
Ingredients
- Eggs — 2 large
- Sugar — 3/4 tablespoon
- Mirin — 1/2 teaspoon
- Splash of salt and soy sauce
Instructions
- Beat eggs with all the ingredients.
- Pour oil on a hot pan. Make sure it’s completely coated. Pour 1/4 of the egg into the pan, try to spread it out evenly into a thin layer.
- Slowly roll the egg when the bottom is cooked but the top is still a bit runny so it will stick together.
- Add oil to the pan and pour another 1/4 of egg into pan. Repeat and roll. (You can blot the oil on the rolled egg while in the pan so it’s not as greasy when it’s served.)
- When it’s done, blot excess oil, let cool. You can wrap it in a paper towel and try to shape and tighten it. Cut into slices and it’s ready to serve! Can also be served cold refrigerated.
