Authentic Tamagoyaki Recipe: Japanese Rolled Omelette

Ingredients

• 4 eggs eggs
• 4 tablespoons prepared dashi stock
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
• 0.5 teaspoon soy sauce
• 0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce until well combined.
2. Heat approximately ⅓ of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in about ⅓ of the egg mixture, swiftly tilting the pan to ensure the entire bottom is evenly coated. Once the egg begins to set, start rolling the omelette from one edge to the opposite.
3. Keep the rolled omelette positioned to one side of the pan. Add another ⅓ of the oil to the skillet, followed by ⅓ more of the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to cover the entire surface, making sure to get under the initial roll. Cook until set, then roll the omelette again, starting from the side with the first roll, incorporating it into a single, larger roll.
4. Repeat the process with the remaining ⅓ of oil and egg mixture until you have one complete roll. Transfer the omelette to a bamboo rolling mat and roll it tightly. Allow it to cool for approximately 3 minutes.
5. Unwrap the omelette carefully and slice it into 6 equal pieces. Serve your Tamagoyaki either warm or cold, according to your preference.
