Tamago Yaki(sushi Omelette)

Recipe #119558 | 45 min | 15 min prep | add private note

Tamago is Japanese for "egg". Tamago yaki is sushi using an egg, like a sushi omelette. I really love it for it's sweet taste and light texture. You need a tamago pan to make this recipe. Any type of stock can be used in place of the dashi for a less fishy taste. Sounds complicated, but after a bit of practice, it gets much easier.

1 roll (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Beat the eggs VERY well, being sure to get them as smooth as possible.
  2. 2
    Pour about 1/4 of the mixture into a well-oiled tamago pan and spread as if you are making a crepe.
  3. 3
    As the mixture cooks, bubbles and sets, roll it and move it to the back of the pan.
  4. 4
    Add more oil to the pan and some more of the mixture, making sure to get some under the roll.
  5. 5
    As it cooks, roll the old roll back to the front of the pan, then again to the back.
  6. 6
    Repeat until you are out of mixture.
  7. 7
    Remove roll from the pan and roll as you would a sushi roll, squeezinng out excess liquid.

    You can roll it into either a round or rectangular shape and slice it when it has cooled.
  9. 9

Wonderful! I cut the recipe in half because I have a small tamago pan, and it worked out perfectly. Both my husband and I enjoyed it.

    This is good. However, after reviewing some recipes, I doubled the sugar and it was perfect!

    When my parents took a trip to Japan last month, I made them buy me a tamago pan just so I can make this recipe. However, in my eagerness, I added 4 tbsp of dashi stock granules instead of stock and my tamago tasted blindingly salty. I tried again, using 2 tbsp of dashi granules and 2 tbsp of sugar, and it was better. Now, having reread the recipe, I will try again using STOCK instead of granules, and I am sure next time it will be fantastic. Thank you for the recipe.
