Tamagoyaki (Japanese Rolled Omelette)
Report
Tamagoyaki is a delicious rolled Japanese Omelette that's a staple of a traditional Japanese breakfast. Made by rolling layers of seasoned egg together, my Tamagoyaki recipe is a quick and easy side dish, and I'm sharing all the tricks you need to make it.

Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons evaporated cane sugar
- ½ teaspoon usukuchi soy sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Break 4 large eggs into a bowl or large cup with a spout.
- Add 2 teaspoons evaporated cane sugar, ½ teaspoon usukuchi soy sauce, and ⅛ teaspoon salt to the eggs and beat them together while trying to minimize the air you incorporate into them.
- Preheat your pan over medium-low heat until it's hot.
- Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to the pan and use a folded up paper towel to spread it around the pan, ensuring every surface of the pan (including the sides) are well oiled. You can use the oil-soaked paper towel to re-oil the pan if you find the eggs are starting to stick.
- Pour enough egg into the pan to evenly cover the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of egg, and swirl around to make an even layer. Let this cook until it's not runny on top anymore, but the egg is still wet.
- Carefully roll the egg from one end using chopsticks or a spatula. You want to roll it as tight as possible so that you don't have air pockets inside. Once you get the egg rolled, you can use a spatula to press the air out of the roll and help the layers adhere to each other.
- If you are using a round pan, fold the sides of the egg towards the center so that when you roll it, the egg ends up a consistent thickness.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you run out of egg.
- If you used a round pan, or if the shape of your tamagoyaki didn't turn out well, you can turn the warm tamagoyaki out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and then wrap it tightly. As it cools, the egg will set into the desired shape.
- If you are serving your tamagoyaki immediately, you can cut it into 4-8 slices immediately. If you plan to include your tamagoyaki in a bento box, let it cool completely before slicing it.
