Japanese rolled omelette 伊達巻き

Japanese rolled omelette 伊達巻き is a sweet, fluffy baked omelette incorporating hanpen fish cake for a smooth texture. The mixture of eggs, hanpen, sugar, honey, mirin, dashi, sake, and soy sauce is blended until smooth, then baked and rolled while hot to create its signature shape. This versatile dish offers a lightly sweet, umami flavor and soft, airy texture typical of this popular Japanese egg preparation.

Baking *4
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  2. Turn the oven off and take out the omelette. While it is still hot, place the rolling mat (flat side face up) over the omelette and quickly and carefully flip it over one hand on the omelette and one hand on the mat.*5
  3. Remove the baking paper and score the omelette from the edge about 0.4"-0.6"(1-1.5cm) apart in order to roll it nicely without breaking.
  4. Roll it into a cylinder shape with the rolling mat and secure it with a rubber band on each end to hold the shape.
  5. Look from the side and place the egg roll closed side down, or leave it standing vertically. Let it cool slightly then wrap it with cling wrap and refrigerate the rolled omelette overnight, then remove from the sushi mat and slice into 0.8inch (2cm) thick and serve!

Notes

  • Use two hanpen fish cakes totaling about 160g for the right texture.
  • Oven baking requires a flat 12x12 inch (30x30 cm) pan lined with parchment.
  • If an oven is unavailable, cook over low heat in a covered frying pan, flipping carefully to cook both sides.
  • Roll the omelette immediately when it’s hot to prevent cracks; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Ingredient substitutions for mirin, sake, and dashi are available for those without access.
