Directions

20 min
  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 120 ml water, 1 tsp dashi stock powder, and 1 tsp cornstarch, mixing well. Crack 4 eggs into the bowl and gently mix without breaking the egg whites. Add 1/4–1/2 tsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tsp mirin, and a pinch of salt, then adjust the seasoning to your taste.

  2. 2

    Whisk the egg mixture with a whisk until smooth for a fluffier result.

  3. 3

    Add the light soy sauce gradually while tasting, adjusting the saltiness to your preference.

  4. 4

    Heat an egg roll pan (tamagoyaki pan) over medium heat with a small amount of oil, then reduce to low heat.

  5. 5

    Pour the egg mixture in several batches, rolling as you cook. Since cornstarch settles, stir the egg mixture well before each pour.

  6. 6

    Don't worry if the rolls aren't perfect at first—they become easier to roll as you progress.

  7. 7

    If rolling becomes difficult, use a spatula or wooden scoop as an aid.

  8. 8

    Cook the egg mixture slowly over low heat, then sear the top and sides thoroughly until done.

Tips

["The dashi stock powder contains salt, which varies by brand. Adjust the light soy sauce to suit your preferred saltiness.","Cornstarch is key to trapping the dashi broth inside and creating a juicy texture. Since the mixture doesn't burn easily, cooking slowly over low heat will give you a beautiful result.","Adding mirin enhances the flavor and creates a more delicious final dish."]
