Tamagoyaki (Tokyo's Rolled Omelette, Sweet and Layered) 🥚

Método

1. 1

   Beat the eggs gently — break the yolks but don't froth them. Stir in dashi, mirin, sugar, soy and salt until the sugar dissolves; strain if you want it perfectly even.

2. 2

   Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan (or small square nonstick) over medium. Wipe with oil. Pour in a thin first layer — just enough to cover the base, no more.

3. 3

   When the surface is mostly set but still slick, roll it from one end to the other with chopsticks or a spatula, then push the roll back to the far end.

4. 4

   Wipe the empty pan with oiled paper, pour a second thin layer, lifting the first roll slightly so the new egg runs underneath it. Roll again, pushing the log onto the new sheet. Repeat 4–6 times; each pass adds a ring.

5. 5

   Shape the finished log against the pan edge with your spatula — a tight rectangle or a soft cylinder. Turn out onto a board, cut across into thick coins with a sharp, damp knife, and show the spiral. Eat warm, or at room temperature with a drizzle of soy and grated daikon.
