This delightful Japanese rolled egg dish features layers of savory flavor, perfect for brunch or as a light snack.
Ingredients
4 pieces eggs
60 ml dashi stock
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons oil
Method
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, dashi broth, a pinch of sugar, mirin, and soy sauce until thoroughly combined.
Heat a portion of oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour in a third of the egg mixture and swirl it around to cover the bottom of the pan. Once it starts to firm up, gently roll the omelette from one end to the other.
Move the rolled omelette to one side of the pan, add more oil, and pour in another third of the egg mixture. Swirl to coat the pan and cook until set, then roll this layer around the first one.
Repeat the process with the remaining oil and egg mixture. Once all layers are rolled together, transfer the omelette to a bamboo mat, wrap it tightly, and let it cool for a few minutes.
Unwrap the omelette carefully and slice it into six pieces. Serve it warm or chilled according to your preference.
