Beautifully Rolled Moist Date-maki (Rolled Fishcake Omelette)
- 2 Hanpen
- 4 Eggs
- 1 tbsp Dashi (Japanese soup stock) (or 1 tablespoon water + 2 pinches dashi stock granules)
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Layer the cake pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the ingredients and blend in a mixer until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan through a tea strainer or fine-mesh sieve, and bake for 15 minutes at 180C.
- If you prefer a browner finish, bake 3 to 5 minutes longer at a higher temperature (about 230C).
- Pierce with a skewer to test whether it is finished baking.
- When finished, cool in cake pan.
- To make a perfectly rolled form, diagonally slice the last 2 cm of both ends.
- To make rolling easier, make shallow horizontal line cuts every 2 to 3 cm along the surface of the cake.
- Quickly roll the cake up very loosely, hold in the rolled position for about 20 seconds to "break in" the cake, unroll, then roll tightly.
- Evenly place 5 rubber bands around the roll, stand it up in a cup and let it sit a while.
- Wrap in a vinyl bag or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
- Slice to desired thickness, transfer to a serving dish and serve.
