Sushi Restaurant Tamagoyaki (Rolled Omelette)
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1/2 tsp Dashi stock granules
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 dash Soy sauce
- 1 Vegetable oil
- Mix all the ingredients together (except the oil) very, very well.
- Keep the tips of your cooking chopsticks on the bottom of the bowl when you mix, and try not to introduce air bubbles.
- Mix well to whisk the egg whites properly.
- Spread oil in a frying pan and heat.
- Wipe excess oil with paper towels.
- I added some tips for adjusting the heat level in Hints.
- Press the bottom of the pan on a tightly wrung out moistened wadded up kitchen towel to even out the heat.
- Spread a bit less than 1 ladleful of the beaten egg in the frying pan, and spread it around the whole pan.
- If any air bubbles form, pop with chopsticks.
- When the surface is soft set, fold it into thirds using chopsticks.
- Push the folded egg to the far side of the pan.
- Spread some oil in the open space of the pan using the oil-soaked paper from Step 2.
- Press the bottom of the frying pan on the moistened kitchen towel again as in Step 3.
- Pour in some beaten egg as in Step 4.
- Hold the rolled egg up a bit and tilt the pan to let the uncooked egg flow under it.
- Repeat Steps 5 to 7 until all the beaten egg is used up.
- Wrap the cooked tamagoyaki in a sushi rolling mat and leave it as-is for a while.
- The tamagoyaki is done.
- If you match up the edges of the mat to the corners of the tamgoyaki when you wrap it, the surface will have a clean spiral.
