Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Dashi stock
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Mirin
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil
- 1.5 cups Cooked short-grain rice
- 1 sheet Nori strips(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Whisk the eggs gently with dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar until just combined; strain through a fine sieve for a smooth texture (5 minutes).
- 2
Heat a tamagoyaki pan (or small nonstick pan) over medium heat and oil it lightly. Pour in a thin layer of egg, tilting to coat. When just set, roll it toward one end.
- 3
Oil the pan again, pour in another thin layer of egg, lifting the rolled omelet so egg flows underneath, then roll again. Repeat until all egg is used, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Shape the omelet with a bamboo mat, rest 1 minute, then slice into thick pieces.
- 5
Serve over warm rice, garnished with nori strips.
