Tamago Recipe

Directions for Making Tamago

1. 1

   Prepare the Egg Mixture

   In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

2. 2

   Heat the Pan

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.

3. 3

   Cook the First Layer

   Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Let it cook until the edges start to set, about 1-2 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll the Omelet

   Using chopsticks or a spatula, start rolling the omelet from one end to the other. Push the rolled omelet to one side of the pan.

5. 5

   Add More Egg Mixture

   Add another tablespoon of oil if necessary, then pour more egg mixture into the pan, lifting the rolled omelet so the liquid can flow underneath.

6. 6

   Repeat Cooking Process

   Let this layer cook until it sets, then roll the previous omelet over it again. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used up.

7. 7

   Final Touch

   Once cooked, remove the omelet from the pan and let it cool slightly. If using, sprinkle chopped green onions on top.

8. 8

   Slice and Serve

   Slice the Tamago into thick pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
