Tamagoyaki Food

TAMAGOYAKI

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 4 1/2 teaspoons water in a medium bowl until well combined but not foamy.
• Heat a 7 1/2-by-5 1/2-inch tamagoyaki pan (or an 8-inch nonstick skillet) over medium heat. Fold a piece of paper towel, dip it into vegetable oil and use it to grease the pan.
• Pour in enough of the egg mixture to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, tilting the pan as needed. Cook until the egg is just set on the bottom but a little underdone on the top, about 1 minute. Using chopsticks or a spatula (see Cook's Note), roll up the egg from the far end of the pan toward you. If you are having trouble getting the egg to fold over itself, use your fingers or a fork to help it along. When the egg is rolled up, push it to the far end of the pan.
• Grease the exposed part of the pan with the piece of paper towel. Pour in enough of the egg mixture to lightly coat the bottom of the pan, tilting the pan as needed. Cook until the egg is just set on the bottom but a little underdone on the top, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Start with the already rolled egg at the far end of the pan and, using chopsticks or a spatula, roll the omelet toward you. Repeat the process until all of the egg mixture is cooked. (For 2 eggs in a 7 1/2-by-5 1/2-inch tamagoyaki pan, you'll generally form about 4 layers.)
• Carefully turn the rolled omelet out onto a cutting board (see Cook's Note) and slice crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces. Serve topped with grated daikon and/or a drizzle of soy sauce if using.

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl.
• Add soy sauce, sugar, dashi, and green onion in the bowl and mix well.
• Heat little bit of vegetable oil in a square omelette pan on mid heat.
• Pour a scoop of egg mixture in the pan and spread over the surface.
• Roll the egg and move it the end of the top side.
• Oil the empty part of the pan and pour more egg mixture in the space and under the rolled egg.
• Cook it until half done and roll the egg again so that the omelette becomes thicker.
• Repeat this process until the egg mixture is gone.
• When omelette is done, remove it from the pan and put on a bamboo mat.
• Using the mat, shape the omelette. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
