Tamago Yaki Roll Recipe

Tamago is Japanese for “egg”. Tamago yaki is egg sushi, like a sushi omelette. It’s better to use a tamago pan for this, but it isn’t necessary (I don’t use a tamago pan, although I should). Any type of stock can be used in place of dashi for a less fishy taste. Sounds complicated, but after a bit of practice, it gets much easier.

This recipe makes 1 roll

Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons dashi stock
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mirin
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • salt

Directions

  1. Prepare the sushi rice. (Tutorial)
  2. Beat the eggs VERY well, being sure to get them as smooth as possible, while mixing the other ingredients in.
  3. Pour about 1/4 of the mixture into a well-oiled tamago pan and spread as if you are making a crepe.
  4. As the mixture cooks, bubbles, and sets, roll it and move it to the back of the pan.
  5. Add more oil to the pan and some more of the mixture, making sure to get some under the roll.
  6. As it cooks, roll the old roll back to the front of the pan, then again to the back.
  7. Repeat until you are out of mixture.
  8. Remove roll from the pan and roll as you would a sushi roll, squeezinng out excess liquid. (tutorial)
