Make Tamagoyaki, a Savory Egg Omelette from Japan, in TAKUMI Japan Tamagoyaki pan
What is Tamagoyaki?
Tamagoyaki is a Japanese traditional egg omelette. We eat it at home, or Japanese restaurants such as izakaya bars and sushi restaurants. The flavours differ throughout Japan. Tokyo style Tamagoyaki is rather sweet, while Kansai style has a light dashi broth flavour.
How to Make Tamagoyaki
The recipe is so simple and delicate. If you want to make it really good, you need to choose fresh ingredients and carefully control the heat.
Tokyo Style Ingredients:
3 (or 4) eggs, a tablespoon of sugar, a teaspoon of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, a tablespoon of mirin (a sweet sake, if not available, white wine with a pinch of brown sugar or honey), a pinch of dashi powder (if available)
Kansai Style Ingredients:
3 (or 4) eggs, 4 tablespoons of dashi stock, a teaspoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of mirin
- Beat the egg and mix all the ingredients together.
- Oil the frying pan.
- Pour 1/3 of the mixture into a Tamagoyaki pan.
- Roll the egg and pour another 1/3, then repeat. Shape into rectangle.
- Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces.
Tokyo style is very sweet and easy to get burnt. Kansai style is softer and fluffier. If you can get a bottle of Shirodashi, Kansai style is much easier. Just mix three eggs with a tablespoon of Shirodashi and 60 ml of water. Please adjust the amount of ingredients as you like and find your favorite taste!
One in the Household
Tamagoyaki is so popular that I would say, every household has at least one Tamagoyaki pan. I myself have three. It is possible to make Tamagoyaki without it, but as Tamagoyaki is rolled up, the amount of egg in the middle and in the edge of the round frying pan cannot be kept constant. Then the thin areas around the edge will be a bit overcooked. So, if you don’t want to ruin your egg making Tamagoyaki, try a square shaped Tamagoyaki pan.
More Versatile Than You Imagine!
Tamagoyaki pan is useful for more than just making Japanese egg omelettes. Its shape is perfect for pan-fried sausages, grilled cheese sandwiches, or a Swiss roll cake in pan.
Which Pan to Choose for the Best Results
When choosing an egg omelette pan, one thing to keep in mind is the material. Those made of aluminium are cheaper, but their thinness often causes uneven heating. For a temperature-sensitive dish like egg omelette, the heat control is very important. Also, aluminium frying pans need to be replaced frequently as the coating tends to peel off easily. The best frying pans for eggs are definitely cast iron pans. Iron pans are durable and tolerant to strong heating. They can be used almost permanently.
