The Japanese Tamagoyaki Omelette

Instructions:

• Bite the eggs:

Start by mixing 4 eggs in a bowl using a fork or hashi (Japanese chickens) until you get a homogeneous mixture.

• Added temperaments:

Then add a spoonful of soy sauce, mirin, sugar and a spoonful of salt to the egg mixture.

• Warm up a refrigerator:

Put a small amount of cooking oil in a stove and take it to medium fire. Have a roll of paper towel at hand to help spread the oil evenly in the stove.

• Cook the eggs:

Toss a small amount of the egg mixture into the heated pan. When the top of the egg is still slightly raw, push it to the side of the pan. Add more oil and pour another portion of eggs into the pan. Repeat this process until you use the entire egg mixture.

• Take a look at Tamagoyaki:

With the help of the towel paper roll, wrap the first layer of egg over the second, forming a small roll. Continue adding layers of eggs and wrap until you use the entire mixture.

• Cut and serve:

Remove the Tamagoyaki from the pan and let it cool before cutting it into thin slices with a sharp knife. Serve the Tamagoyaki alone or with other Japanese dishes.

Tips:

• - Instead of using soy sauce and mirin, you can replace them with Dashi soup bouillon to get a similar taste.
• For a stronger Tamagoyaki, you can wrap it in a sushi carpet after cooking.
• Try adding other ingredients, such as onions and nori algae, for an extra flavor.
• - It is not necessary to use a special square stove, but it can be easier than using a regular round stove.
