• Vegetable Oil

How to Make Authentic Japanese Tamago Yaki

1. Whisk 3 large eggs lightly in a bowl.
2. Add 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon dashi (or 1/4 teaspoon dashi granules dissolved in 1 tablespoon water), and 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce. Whisk until well combined.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat.
4. Pour 1/3 of the egg mixture into the hot skillet. As the edges begin to set, gently lift them with chopsticks or a spatula, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
5. Once the bottom is mostly set but the top is still slightly wet, gently roll the omelet towards one side of the pan.
6. Pour another 1/3 of the egg mixture onto the skillet, next to the rolled omelet. Repeat steps 4 and 5.
7. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture.
8. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. For a richer flavor, use a pinch of dashi granules instead of liquid dashi.
