Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Japanese Tamago Egg (Sweet Rolled Omelet).
Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients for a seamless cooking experience.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, thoroughly beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely for a harmonious flavor.
Step 4
Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with vegetable oil and warm it over medium heat.
Step 5
Pour a delicate layer of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it gently to cover the bottom evenly.
Step 6
Allow it to cook until the base is set but the top remains slightly runny, which should take about a minute.
Step 7
With a spatula, carefully lift one edge of the cooked egg and roll it towards the opposite side of the skillet, creating a beautiful omelet roll.
Step 8
Shift the rolled omelet to one side of the skillet.
Step 9
If necessary, add a touch more oil, then pour in another thin layer of the egg mixture, lifting the first roll slightly to let the new egg flow underneath.
Step 10
Continue rolling the first omelet into this fresh layer and push it to the edge of the skillet once more.
Step 11
Repeat this delightful process with the remaining egg mixture, adding oil as needed to prevent sticking.
Step 12
Once all the egg mixture has been transformed into a glorious rolled omelet, gently remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter.
Step 13
Slice it into six equal pieces, ready to be enjoyed.
Step 14
This dish not only pleases the palate but also brings a touch of elegance to your table.
