Egg And Nori Rolls Tomago Recipes

EGG AND NORI ROLLS (TOMAGO)

Steps:

• Toast each sheet of nori until crisp by running it over a gas flame or electric element set on medium heat. Careful not to burn! Set aside.
• In a bowl, beat together eggs, salt and water.
• Heat a skillet on a medium heat; grease lightly. Set 1 teaspoon egg mixture aside.
• Use remaining eggs to make 4 thin omelets. Trim nori sheets to the same size as omelets.
• Place omelet, uncooked side up, on a bamboo mat. Top with 1 sheet of nori.
• Continue stacking omelets and nori until all are used.
• Roll up omelet-nori stack in mat to make a tight, compact cylinder; seal seam with reserved egg.
• Let stand until cold. Remove bamboo mat; cut roll in 12 chunks.

TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE ROLLED OMELETTE)

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Gently whisk the eggs in a bowl. It's best to "cut" the eggs with chopsticks in a zig-zag motion; do not overmix.
• In another bowl, combine the seasonings and mix well.
• Pour the seasonings mixture into the eggs and whisk gently. Then pour the mixture into a measuring cup with a spout and handle so that it'll be easier to pour into the frying pan.

JAPANESE TAMAGO EGG

Steps:

• Beat eggs thoroughly in a bowl; whisk in dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce until sugar has dissolved.
• Place a nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat. Oil the pan with vegetable oil. Pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the hot pan and swirl to coat pan.
• When egg layer is firm on the bottom but still slightly liquid on top, lift up about 1 inch of the edge of the omelet with a spatula and fold end over remaining egg layer; continue rolling the omelet to the end and push the roll to the edge of the skillet. Oil the skillet again if it looks dry; pour another thin layer of egg into the skillet and lift the roll to let the egg flow underneath the omelet roll. Fold the omelet roll over the new layer of egg, continuing to roll to the end as before. Push omelet to edge of skillet.
• Pour a new egg layer into the skillet, oiling the pan if needed. Roll the omelet over to incorporate the next egg layer into the roll. Pour new layers and roll into the omelet until all egg mixture has been used. Remove omelet to a serving platter and cut into 6 equal pieces to serve.
