TAMAGO YAKI (SUSHI OMELETTE)



Tamago Yaki (Sushi Omelette) image

Tamago is Japanese for "egg". Tamago yaki is sushi using an egg, like a sushi omelette. I really love it for it's sweet taste and light texture. You need a tamago pan to make this recipe. Any type of stock can be used in place of the dashi for a less fishy taste. Sounds complicated, but after a bit of practice, it gets much easier.

TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE ROLLED OMELET)



Tamagoyaki (Japanese Rolled Omelet) image

Tamagoyaki, a Japanese staple, is made by carefully rolling several thin layers of cooked egg into a rectangular omelet, which creates a soft and delicate texture. Traditionally, it's made in a special tamagoyaki pan, but this version also works with an 8-inch nonstick skillet. There are sweet and savory variations, and this recipe falls somewhere in between the two: The soy sauce, mirin and dashi pack it with umami, while the sugar adds a subtle sweetness. The technique can be challenging at first, but do your best to keep each layer consistent in color and each fold parallel to the last. Don't worry about little tears; they'll be covered up with the next layer.

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 eggs
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon white soy sauce or 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon dashi stock, optional (see Tip)
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon neutral oil, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine eggs, mirin, soy sauce, dashi (if using) and sugar. Whisk until well combined.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a tamagoyaki pan or a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium. Using a small piece of folded paper towel, carefully wipe the excess oil from the pan and set aside paper towel (you will need it to grease the pan for each egg layer).
  • Pour about 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the pan and quickly tilt the pan, swirling the egg mixture around to create an even layer. If there are thicker areas, gently poke a small hole at the thickest point with chopsticks and tilt and swirl the pan to cover exposed areas with more raw egg to form an even layer.
  • After the layer is cooked, about 1 minute, using chopsticks or a rubber spatula, gently lift the egg edges on the farthest side to loosen the layer's grip. While tilting the pan, carefully fold the egg about 1/4 of the way toward yourself. Continue to fold the egg equally on itself until you have a narrow, rectangular omelet at the edge of the pan nearest you. Reduce the heat to medium-low if the egg is browning.
  • Using the paper towel, lightly grease the exposed area of the pan. Pour another 3 tablespoons of the remaining egg mixture into the exposed area of the pan and quickly swirl it around to create another layer. Use chopsticks or a soft spatula to gently lift up the folded omelet and tilt the pan toward you so the raw egg mixture runs under the omelet.
  • Once the layer is cooked, gently roll the omelet away from you in three to four flips. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 with remaining three layers, greasing the pan before each additional layer. The number of flips will decrease as the omelet grows in size with each additional layer.
  • Transfer omelet to a cutting board or a plate when done. Cut crosswise into four pieces and rotate, cut side up, to show egg layers. (If using a nonstick 8-inch skillet, you can trim both ends of the omelet to make them even.) Serve immediately or chill for later.

TAMAGO SUSHI



Tamago Sushi image

Tamago is a thin sweetened egg omelet. Here it is added to sushi with spring onions and mayo for a tasty treat. Please note portion sizes are a guess as I normally use a sushi maker to make this type of sushi.

Provided by PinkCherryBlossom

Categories     Rice

Time 50m

Yield 15-20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 spring onions
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup cooked sushi rice (try Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice)
3 sheets nori, toasted
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (use Kewpie brand)

Steps:

  • In a bowl beat eggs, flour,sugar and salt together.
  • Heat a non stick or lightly oiled pan on a medium heat. I normally use a small frying pan to give me a 1/4 inch thick omelette.
  • Cook egg mix until golden on both sides.
  • Allow to cool and slice into 1/2 inch thick slices.
  • Slice the spring onions lengthways into long thin strips. Depending on preference you can use the white only or all parts of the onion.
  • In a small dry frying pan place the sesame seeds and heat over a medium heat until they turn golden brown and become aromatic; watch carefully they burn very easily.
  • Assembling the sushi. There are two ways to assemble this sushi you can either make fat rolls (futomaki) or layered sushi (nigari) I will describe both.
  • Rolls (futomaki):.
  • Lay a sheet of nori down on a sushi rolling mat.
  • Spread 1/3 of the rice over the nori pressing down well; leave a 1 inch gap at the side nearest to you.
  • Leave a 1 inch gap on the rice at your side and place 1/3 of the onion, sesame seeds and omelet; top with a line of the mayonnaise.
  • Take the inch of seaweed that is showing and fold over the rice, continue rolling up the seaweed using the mat if needed as an aid. You should end up with a cigar shaped roll.
  • Remove the roll to a plate and place in the fridge, make the other rolls in the same way.
  • When the sushi is cool, use a sharp knife dipped in salted water to slice into 1/2 inch slices.
  • The end sections will look untidy so eat them and arrange the rest of the pieces on a plate.
  • Layered (nigari):.
  • Line 9 x 13 inch pan with cling film.
  • Place 1/3 of the sushi rice in a layer on the bottom.
  • Place one of the nori sheets on the rice adding more around the sides if needed.
  • Place the sliced omelet on top of the nori leaving 1/2 inch gaps between the slices.
  • Place the spring onions in the gaps and top each one with a thin line of the mayonnaise.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and top with another sheet of nori.
  • Add another 1/3 of the rice.
  • Add the other nori sheet.
  • Add the rest of the rice.
  • Press down the top of the sushi with another pan covered in cling film.
  • Turn the sushi out onto a board and using a sharp wet knife cut into squares.

JAPANESE TAMAGO EGG



Japanese Tamago Egg image

Tamago egg is classic Japanese folded omelet sometimes called tamagoyaki. The omelet is sweet, has a light texture, and works well when served over sushi rice and with soy and wasabi sauce for dipping. Tamago is the Japanese word for egg. Mirin is sweet rice wine and dashi is traditional Japanese soup stock (make from kelp or shiitake). These ingredients are now carried in most larger grocery stores or at Asian markets.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Wraps and Rolls

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:

  • Use a well-seasoned rectangular Japanese omelet pan (tamagoyaki pan) for best results. If you don't have one, a non-stick frying pan will work, but the eggs may not cook as evenly.
  • Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Use low heat and cook the eggs slowly. This will help prevent them from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Roll the eggs as soon as they are cooked. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of fillings to make your tamagoyaki more interesting. Some popular fillings include: cooked shrimp, crab, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Serve tamagoyaki with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. You can also add a side of rice or miso soup.

Conclusion:

Tamagoyaki is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover eggs and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give tamagoyaki a try.
