TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE ROLLED OMELETTE)

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
• Heat 1/3 of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/3 of the egg mixture and quickly swirl the pan to evenly cover the bottom. Start rolling up the omelette from one side to the other as soon as it is set.
• Keep the roll to one side, then add another 1/3 of the oil to the skillet and another 1/3 of the egg. Swirl the pan, ensuring the entire bottom is covered, including around and underneath the first roll. Cook until set. Roll up from the side containing the first roll, so that is now at the center.
• Repeat the process with the remaining oil and egg. Transfer rolled omelette to a bamboo rolling mat. Roll up tightly and allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Unwrap the omelette and slice into 6 pieces. Serve warm or cold.

EASY TAMAGOYAKI, JAPANESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat the skillet at medium high temperature and spread a light layer of oil on, using kitchen paper or a pastry brush.
• In the meantime prepare the omelette: in a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin and sugar.
• In a large bowl whisk the eggs gently, using a fork or chopsticks. Fold in the soy mixture and mix until all ingredients are just combined.
• Pour a thin layer of egg mixture in the skillet. Swirl it around like you would do for a french pancakes. Then, roll it into a log and move it to the end of the pan.
• Pour some more egg mixture to cover the rest of the pan. Lift up a bit the egg roll, and let some of the egg mixture go under it too (so that they stick together). After the new layer has set (but still slightly uncooked in the middle), roll the log back onto the the already made egg roll, and move to the end of the pan.
• Repeat the process, one thin layer at the time, until all the egg mixture is used up.
• In the meantime, cover with cling film a bamboo mat. Once your omelette is ready, gently remove from the pan onto the prepared bamboo mat.
• Roll the omelette tightly, pressing a little on top to make the rectangular shape, just how you would do for sushi.
• Allow to cool and set, then cut the omelette into large bites. Thread the omelette chunks onto sticks and serve immediately.

TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE ROLLED OMELET)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine eggs, mirin, soy sauce, dashi (if using) and sugar. Whisk until well combined.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a tamagoyaki pan or a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium. Using a small piece of folded paper towel, carefully wipe the excess oil from the pan and set aside paper towel (you will need it to grease the pan for each egg layer).
• Pour about 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the pan and quickly tilt the pan, swirling the egg mixture around to create an even layer. If there are thicker areas, gently poke a small hole at the thickest point with chopsticks and tilt and swirl the pan to cover exposed areas with more raw egg to form an even layer.
• After the layer is cooked, about 1 minute, using chopsticks or a rubber spatula, gently lift the egg edges on the farthest side to loosen the layer's grip. While tilting the pan, carefully fold the egg about 1/4 of the way toward yourself. Continue to fold the egg equally on itself until you have a narrow, rectangular omelet at the edge of the pan nearest you. Reduce the heat to medium-low if the egg is browning.
• Using the paper towel, lightly grease the exposed area of the pan. Pour another 3 tablespoons of the remaining egg mixture into the exposed area of the pan and quickly swirl it around to create another layer. Use chopsticks or a soft spatula to gently lift up the folded omelet and tilt the pan toward you so the raw egg mixture runs under the omelet.
• Once the layer is cooked, gently roll the omelet away from you in three to four flips. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 with remaining three layers, greasing the pan before each additional layer. The number of flips will decrease as the omelet grows in size with each additional layer.
• Transfer omelet to a cutting board or a plate when done. Cut crosswise into four pieces and rotate, cut side up, to show egg layers. (If using a nonstick 8-inch skillet, you can trim both ends of the omelet to make them even.) Serve immediately or chill for later.
