Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 tbsp dashi (Japanese fish stock)
- 1 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Cooking oil, for greasing the pan
Directions
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add the dashi, mirin, and soy sauce to the beaten eggs and mix everything together until well incorporated.
- Heat a non-stick tamagoyaki pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil using a paper towel.
- Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting the pan to spread the mixture evenly.
- Once the edges of the egg start to set, gently roll it up from one end to the other using chopsticks or a spatula.
- Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan and grease the empty side with more cooking oil.
- Pour another thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, lifting the rolled egg to let the new mixture flow underneath.
- Once the new layer starts to set, roll it up with the existing egg roll.
- Repeat steps 6-8 until all the egg mixture is used up and you have a thick, multi-layered tamagoyaki roll.
- Remove the tamagoyaki from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve the tamagoyaki warm and enjoy!
