Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

1. 1

   Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk gently until just combined, being careful not to create too many bubbles.

   Około 2 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Over-whisking can make the omelette tough; aim for a light, uniform yellow color.

2. 2

   In a separate small bowl, combine the dashi stock, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

   Około 1 min

3. 3

   Add the dashi mixture to the beaten eggs and whisk gently to incorporate.

   Około 1 min

4. 4

   Heat a square or round non-stick pan (preferably a tamagoyaki pan) over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil.

   Około 2 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: Use a paper towel to evenly spread the oil and remove any excess.

5. 5

   Pour about one-quarter of the egg mixture into the hot pan, tilting the pan to spread it evenly into a thin layer.

   Około 1 min

6. 6

   As the egg begins to set but is still slightly wet on top, use chopsticks or a spatula to gently roll the egg from one end of the pan to the other.

   Około 2 min

   Wskazówka kucharza: The goal is to create a loose roll; it doesn't need to be perfect.

7. 7

   Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan. Re-oil the empty space in the pan if needed.

8. 8

   Pour another quarter of the egg mixture into the empty space, lifting the cooked roll slightly to allow some of the new mixture to flow underneath.

   Około 1 min

9. 9

   Once this new layer is mostly set, roll the cooked egg back over the fresh layer, continuing to form a thicker roll.

   Około 2 min

10. 10

    Repeat steps 7-9 with the remaining egg mixture until all the egg is used and you have a thick, multi-layered omelette.

    Około 3 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

11. 11

    Transfer the finished tamagoyaki to a cutting board. Let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into 1-inch thick pieces.

    Wskazówka kucharza: Cooling slightly makes it easier to cut cleanly.
