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.

EGG DROP SOUP (TAMAGO TOJI)

Steps:

• Heat stock in a saucepan and stir in salt and soy sauce.
• If using mushrooms, wash and slice thinly and add to the stock.
• Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
• Bring soup to a boil and with a ladle or chopsticks stir the soup clockwise.
• Pour in the beaten egg, remove the soup from the heat and stir counterclockwise.
• If using add trefoil/coriander/chives, cover pot for 30-40 seconds then uncover and add pepper.
• Serve immediately.
• If you cannot find the sansho/Szechwan peppercorns, I imagine a pinch of standard black pepper (or a blend, which often contain sansho/Szechwan peppercorns) will do.
