To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook soft tamagoyaki for bento using 7 ingredients and 17 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Soft Tamagoyaki for Bento:
- Make ready 2 small Egg
- Prepare 50 ml Water (or soup stock)
- Make ready 1 rounded tablespoon Sugar
- Prepare 1 tsp Mirin
- Take 1/2 tsp Sake
- Get 1 dash over 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- Get 1 Vegetable oil
Instructions to make Soft Tamagoyaki for Bento:
- Put all ingredients except the vegetable oil in a bowl and mix well with a whisk (mix until the egg whites are blended well, but do not to create bubbles).
- Strain the mixture with a sieve, and then strain again using a finer tea strainer. ※Mixing the mixture with a spoon while straining will speed up this process.
- Thinly coat the frying pan with oil using a paper towel dipped in oil, and heat on medium heat.
- When the frying pan is heated, pour in 1/3 of the egg mixture.
- Gently scramble the egg when it starts to bubble, then roll it up when the egg is soft set. Remove the frying pan from the heat while rolling. Use a spatula to roll if it is difficult.
- Using the same paper towel you used to coat the pan with oil, remove the excess egg from the pan while coating the pan with a new layer of oil. Pour half of the remaining egg mixture so that it flows beneath the already rolled egg.
- Repeat the rolling process as before, add the remaining egg mixture and rolling while cooking (The egg should be rolled 3 times in total).
- The egg should be soft-set at this point.
- Reduce the heat to low (to prevent burning) and cook the egg through while gently pressing down on the egg with a spatula. Then it's ready.
- Addendum: Pressing the tamagoyaki to the side of the frying pan with the spatula will make a thick tamagoyaki without air pockets.
- Addendum: Even if you have trouble rolling the eggs nicely and they become scrambled, just finish by pressing down on them and fry, then it should be be fine.
- Addendum: If you turn off the fire, cover the pan with a lid and let the tamagoyaki steam cook, you can prevent the tamagoyaki from being undercooked.
- Addendum: Straining the egg mixture will make the tamagoyaki smoother, but it should also be fine mixed with a whisk without straining. Don't bother straining the mixture if you don't have time.
- The flavors will be more pronounced if you chill the tamagoyaki in the refrigerator after it cools down slightly. I recommend serving it chilled to a freshly made one.
- Add bonito soup stock and a little salt and sugar instead of water when making a dashi-maki. Or you could use a stock made from 1/2 teaspoon powdered soup stock to 50 ml water.
- Addendum: When making atsuyaki-tamago (thick tamagoyaki) with a doubled amount of ingredients, it will be easier to roll by repeating the pouring and rolling process several more times.
- Addendum: If it burns easily, reduce the heat to low heat.
