Cook time

10 minutes

Ingredients
1 omelet

  • Egg Mixture
  • Eggs
    3
  • (A)Sugar
    1 tbsp
  • (A)Japanese style granulated soup stock
    1/2 tsp
  • Salad oil
    as needed

How to make

  1. 1. Crack the egg into a bowl. When beating the eggs, do so gently by keeping the tip of the long chopsticks on the bottom of the bowl, making sure it doesn't bubble. Lift the egg whites up with long chopsticks and split them up.
  2. 2. Add ingredient (A) and mix together.
  3. 3. Add cooking oil to the tamagoyaki omelet pan and turn the heat up to high, then use a paper towel to spread the oil around.
  4. 4. Once the pan is heated enough, reduce the heat to medium and pour in 1/3 of the egg mixture. Roll it from the back to the front, then move it to the back.
  5. 5. After pouring in 1/3 of the egg mixture, lift the tamagoyaki a little bit and tilt the pan so that the egg mixture can also spread underneath the tamagoyaki.
  6. 6. Repeat Step 5 again and once that's done, it's ready!

Tips for cooking

You can use other seasonings to your liking instead of Japanese style granulated dashi such as soy sauce. If you mix the egg mixture too much, it will lose its chewiness and the tamagoyaki will lose its fluffiness, so be careful not to mix too much. You can lift the egg whites with long chopsticks and split them to make it easier to mix. Please pay attention to the heat so that it doesn't burn.
