These eggs turn out a chocolate brown color and could have golden veins running all around them depending on how the peeling process goes, which lends to a very striking appearance. Soy sauce eggs are usually paired with ramen but delicious alone and could be made into egg salad or deviled if you feel adventurous enough.

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs
¼ cup prepared dashi stock
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
½ teaspoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon vegetable oil, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Beat eggs thoroughly in a bowl; whisk in dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce until sugar has dissolved.
  • Place a nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat. Oil the pan with vegetable oil. Pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the hot pan and swirl to coat pan.
  • When egg layer is firm on the bottom but still slightly liquid on top, lift up about 1 inch of the edge of the omelet with a spatula and fold end over remaining egg layer; continue rolling the omelet to the end and push the roll to the edge of the skillet. Oil the skillet again if it looks dry; pour another thin layer of egg into the skillet and lift the roll to let the egg flow underneath the omelet roll. Fold the omelet roll over the new layer of egg, continuing to roll to the end as before. Push omelet to edge of skillet.
  • Pour a new egg layer into the skillet, oiling the pan if needed. Roll the omelet over to incorporate the next egg layer into the roll. Pour new layers and roll into the omelet until all egg mixture has been used. Remove omelet to a serving platter and cut into 6 equal pieces to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh eggs: The fresher the eggs, the better the shoyu tamago will be.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the key ingredient in shoyu tamago, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is made with 100% soybeans and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a bamboo steamer: A bamboo steamer is the best way to steam the eggs. It allows the steam to circulate evenly around the eggs, which helps them to cook evenly.
  • Let the eggs cool completely before peeling them: This will help to prevent the eggs from breaking.
