You’re going to need a tamagoyaki pan for this. You could do without but it’s not going to be a perfect rectangle. I got one off of amazon for under $20 and I think it’s really worth getting one because this is such a staple side dish to serve with any sort of Japanese home cooking. I use white soy sauce and dashi for color purposes but if you only have dark soy and dashi that’s okay.

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 tbsp white dashi stock
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp mirin
• Pinch of MSG

1. Whisk all ingredients together well and strain.
2. On very low heat, apply cooking oil in an omelette pan or nonstick pan and wipe off excess oil. Add in 1/3 of egg mixture and when halfway cooked, roll forwards.
3. Reapply oil, add egg mixture, roll, repeat.
4. Let the omelette rest for a minute so the insides cook.

TIP: You can add anything in the middle, sometimes I like to do layers of nori, vegetables or meat.
