Ingredients

15 min
1 serving
  1. 1 tbsp dashi stock
  2. 1 tbsp mirin
  3. 1 tbsp sugar
  4. 1 tbsp shoyu/soy sauce
  5. 2-3 eggs
  6. 1 Pinch salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients. You might need a Tamagoyaki pan (square shaped pan) or Tamagoyaki shaper like pictured here, but you can make it using regular pan of course.

  2. 2

    Mix dashi stock, sugar, mirin, shoyu and salt. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Adjust the taste, if you don't like it too sweet, add more salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Be careful not to overmix it. Just beat the egg until the yolk breaks and dissolved.

  4. 4

    Add the shoyu mixture into the beaten egg. Mix it thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Heat the pan and coat it with oil. If the pan is hot enough, pour the egg one step at the time using a laddle & spread it across the pan.

  6. 6

    Start rolling the egg by using spatula or chopstick. Do not overcook the egg. Keep the heat low. 

  7. 7

    Push the cooked egg to the edge. Add more egg mixture.

  8. 8

    Keep rolling until all mixture is used up

  9. 9

    Congratulations ~ your tamagoyaki is now ready to serve. Cut it into equal pieces and enjoy it with soy sauce, rice and miso soup. 😊
