Tamagoyaki With Green Onions And Ham Recipes

Steps:

• Beat eggs, sugar & soy in a bowl.
• Spray your tamagoyaki pan with non-stick spray. Heat your pan over low heat.
• Pour in a third of beaten eggs, making sure to cover entire surface of pan.
• Once egg sets slightly, add a couple of pieces of green onion and ham(if either ham or green onion is too long, then trim). Start rolling egg by lifting up end farthest away from you and roll towards you slowly. Add more egg, making sure to lift existing roll to make sure egg mixture gets underneath. When egg is slightly set, add more ham and green onions and roll again. Repeat steps one last time. It is no problem if you run out of ham and/or green onions, as long as they are in the 1st and 2nd roll it will be enough.

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in a large bowl until just mixed.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the dashi/water, sake, sugar, tamari, and salt to taste until the sugar is dissolved.
• Add to the eggs and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to a measuring cup/container with a spout.
• Heat a tamago pan** over medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoons oil and brush over the surface of the skillet with a pastry brush. Working in batches, pour a thin layer of egg*** into the skillet.
• Tilt the pan to coat the surface evenly with egg. Place some spinach leaves on top of the egg. When the egg begins to pucker, around the edges, push/roll the egg with chopsticks or spatula from one end of the pan to the other so that you have a long cylinder of egg. Leave it in the pan.
• Brush the pan with more oil. Pour more egg in the pan and tilt it to spread the egg around. Lift the egg log and let the egg run underneath (it will help the rolling process).
• Spread more spinach leaves on top of the egg and, once the egg starts to pucker, use the egg log as your core and roll in the other direction.
• Repeat the process, fattening the log as you go. Watch your heat and lower it towards the end to prevent the log (as it gets bigger) from browning too fast due to its weight.
• Remove the log from the pan and cut into 8 equal pieces.

Steps:

• Crack eggs into an appropriately sized bowl.
• Add the light shoyu, salt, and mirin to the eggs.
• Beat the ingredients together, then add dashi.
• Mix the dashi in lightly. It is important you don't mix too much, or the dashi will lose its flavor.*.
• Soak a paper towel in oil and wipe a frying pan with it, then put your frying pan over medium heat. If you have a rectangular or square pan, use that for best results.
• When the frying pan is hot, pour a thin layer of egg over it. Use your hashi or flipper to pop the bubbles.
• If using hashi, you need to flip or "roll" the egg towards you while gently guiding it with your hashi. Beginners may want to use a flipper, in which case you only need to roll the egg either toward you or away from you. Try not to rip the egg, but just keep rolling if you do.
• Now the rolled egg is on one side of the pan. You can choose to take it off of the heat now, or you can wipe the pan with oil again and add more egg. If so, remember to lift the cooked egg up to let the raw egg under it. Repeat until you have used all of the egg.
• After all of the egg had been used, move it (or them) to a cutting board. You can use a paper towel to shape the tamagoyaki while it is still hot, if you so choose.
• With the long side of the tamagoyaki parallel to yourself, slice evenly, though not too thin. There you have classic tamagoyaki!
• *If you are worried about appearance, this is the point where you would strain the egg through a sieve.

Steps:

• Heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Using a paper towel, wipe a little bit of the oil over the pan; reserve the rest of the oil.
• Gently whisk the eggs in a bowl. It's best to "cut" the eggs with chopsticks in zig-zag motion and do not over mix it.
• Add the dashi, sugar, soy sauce, mirin and salt. Mix gently.
• Pour the mixture into a measuring cup with spout and handle (so that it'll be easier to pour into the frying pan).
• Pour a thin layer of egg mixture in the pan, tilting to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Poke the air bubbles to release the air. After the bottom of the egg has set but still soft on top, start rolling into a log shape from one side to the other.
• Move the rolled omelette to the side where you started to roll, and apply more oil to the pan with a paper towel, even under the omelette.
• Pour the egg mixture to cover the bottom of the pan again. Make sure to lift the omelette to spread the mixture underneath.
• Continue this process until all the egg mixture has been used up.
• Remove from the pan and place the omelette on a bamboo mat and wrap it up. Shape the egg when it is still hot. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
