Kinshi Tamago
Report
Usuyaki Tamago means "thin grilled egg" and is a thin decorative omelet used to wrap food, and it can be shredded into thin golden threads called Kinshi Tamago to use as a vibrant garnish. It requires some technique, but I've outlined everything you need to know to make beautiful Usuyaki Tamago in this recipe and video.

Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- vegetable oil (to oil pan)
Instructions
- Break 3 large eggs into a medium bowl, and add 1 pinch salt. Use chopsticks to beat the egg using a side-to-side motion. Try to avoid whisking air into the mixture.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a container with a spout.
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick frying pan over medium heat until moderately hot.
- Fold a ½ sheet of paper towel over several times to make a thick pad. Dip this in some Vegetable oil and use it to wipe a thin layer of oil onto the pan (there shouldn't be any large visible beads of oil).
- Turn down the heat to low and pour in enough egg mixture to swirl around and evenly coat the bottom of the pan.
- Let this cook until the edges of the egg start to dry out and are easily separated from the pan.
- Use chopsticks or a spatula to flip the sheet of egg over and smooth out any wrinkles or folds.
- Cook for a few seconds until the egg is fully set, and transfer to a plate. Cover it with plastic wrap to keep the Usuyaki Tamago from drying out, and repeat steps 5-7 until you run out of egg mixture.
- If you want to make Kinshi Tamago, stack the sheets of egg and roll them up. Use a sharp knife to cut the egg into thin threads.
