TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE ROLLED OMELETTE)

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
• Heat 1/3 of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/3 of the egg mixture and quickly swirl the pan to evenly cover the bottom. Start rolling up the omelette from one side to the other as soon as it is set.
• Keep the roll to one side, then add another 1/3 of the oil to the skillet and another 1/3 of the egg. Swirl the pan, ensuring the entire bottom is covered, including around and underneath the first roll. Cook until set. Roll up from the side containing the first roll, so that is now at the center.
• Repeat the process with the remaining oil and egg. Transfer rolled omelette to a bamboo rolling mat. Roll up tightly and allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Unwrap the omelette and slice into 6 pieces. Serve warm or cold.

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.

TAMAGOYAKI BENTO BOX

Steps:

• Rinse rice with cool water until the water runs clear; drain. Bring rice and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat and let simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Let cool, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Cut the sheet of nori into two 1-inch strips; reserve the remainder of the sheet for making tamagoyaki.
• Wet your hands and form the cooled rice into 4 equal portions. Keep your hands wet to keep rice from sticking. Create an indention in one of the rice portions using your thumb. Fill the indention with 1 teaspoon bonito flakes. Top with another rice portion to close the onigiri. Form into an oval shape and wrap the middle with a strip of nori. Make another onigiri with the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle white and black sesame seeds on top. Place in a bento box.
• Whisk together the eggs, mirin, and 1/8 teaspoon tamari together in a bowl; divide into 3 portions. Cut remaining portion of nori sheet into four 1/2-inch strips.
• Heat oil in a small saucepan or square tamagoyaki pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the egg mixture and cook until almost firm, 2 to 3 minutes; if omelette is too firm, it won't stick together very well. Slide onto a plate. Add the 4 strips of nori to the pan with some space between each.
• Cook another 1/3 of the omelette the same way, but roll it up carefully in the saucepan with the nori. Slide the rolled-up omelette onto the edge of the first omelette. Cook the third omelette and roll it up, sliding it on top of the second omelette. Let cool enough to touch, about 5 minutes.
• Roll the entire layered omelette together with nori inside. Cut into 4 pieces. Place into the bento box alongside the onigiri.
• Mix 2 tablespoons tamari, ginger, and wasabi paste together in a bowl. Put the mixture into a portable container then put inside the bento box. Add the steamed broccoli and edamame.
