Japanese Tamagoyaki

A sweet, savory rolled omelette, popular in Japanese breakfasts and bento boxes.

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1/4 cup dashi stock
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

1. Beat eggs with sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi until smooth.
2. Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan and brush with oil.
3. Pour thin layer of egg mixture into the pan and cook just until set.
4. Roll the egg from one side to the other, then oil the pan again.
5. Repeat the process with remaining egg mixture to form multiple layers.

Chef's tips

• Ensure the pan is well-greased for perfect rolling.
• Use a flat spatula to roll the omelette neatly.
