Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons dashi stock
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon mirin
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- salt
Directions
- Prepare your sushi rice. (tutorial)
- Beat the eggs VERY well, being sure to get them as smooth as possible, while mixing the other ingredients in.
- Pour about 1/4 of the mixture into a well-oiled tamago pan or other and spread as if you are making a crepe.
- As the mixture cooks, bubbles, and sets, roll it and move it to the back of the pan.
- Add more oil to the pan and some more of the mixture, making sure to get some under the roll.
- As it cooks, roll the old roll back to the front of the pan, then again to the back.
- Repeat until you are out of mixture.
- Remove egg from the pan.
- make 10 to 20 balls of rice. (tutorial)
- Cut egg in slices width wise. How thick you cut the tamago is up to you.
- Place the tamago slices atop your nigiri rice balls and wrap in a thin strip of nori to hold the parts together. (see picture below)

I can’t believe how complete the tutorials are. I had a few question while going through the recipe, but with the tutorial links and the video, all my questions were answered. The tamago turned out great!!
Thank you so much!!!
