  • Preparation: 5 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (156 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Pescatarian, Dairy-free, Low carb
  • Contains: celery, egg, fish, gluten, soy

Ingredients

  • 120 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 20 g Fish stock
  • 4 g Soy sauce
  • 6 g Sugar
  • 6 g Vegetable oil

Method

  1. Beat the eggs well with the fish stock (dashi stand-in), soy sauce and sugar, straining if you want an extra-smooth texture.
  2. Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan (or a small regular pan) over medium-low heat and wipe it with a little oil.
  3. Pour in a thin layer of egg mixture, tilting to cover the base, and let it set for about 20 seconds.
  4. Roll the egg up from one side to the other with chopsticks or a spatula, then push it back to the far side of the pan.
  5. Oil the pan again, pour in another thin layer, lift the rolled egg slightly so the new layer runs underneath, and roll again once set; repeat until the egg is used up.
  6. Slide the finished roll out, let it cool slightly, then slice into pieces to serve.
