Japanese omelet tamago yaki
A classic Japanese omelette recipe thatis also known as tamago-yaki. The taste of this dish is quite specific. But if you like Japanese cuisine, then the recipe for tamago-yaki omelette will definitely interest you. Ingredients:
- 6 eggs;
- 2 tablespoons of sweet rice wine Mirin;
- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar;
- 1 teaspoon of soy sauce;
- Teriyaki sauce;
- Green parsley;
- 3-4 pieces of radish.
Preparation:If you are going to use the classic recipe, you need to make an omelette according to all the rules. Therefore, in addition to the listed products, prepare a mat wrapped in cling film, a sieve, a square roasting pan with a non-stick coating. Ready? Now let's start cooking. Break the eggs into a bowl and mix (do not beat!) them with a fork. Now pour in the rice wine and soy sauce, add a tablespoon of powdered sugar and mix again. At this stage, the mixture should acquire a light brown hue. Next, we need to strain the egg mixture so that the omelette acquires its characteristic silky texture. To do this, simply pass the mixture through a sieve. Now put the frying pan on the fire, pour in a little vegetable oil and let it heat up. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, carefully pour a little egg mixture into the frying pan so that it covers the entire bottom in a thin layer. As soon as the bottom of the pancake is browned, we lift it from one edge with a spatula and fold it in half. Half of the frying pan is now free, and we pour another thin layer of egg mixture onto it. We wait until the second pancake is browned and, lifting it with a spatula, we turn it over, placing it on the first one. We bake omelette pancakes in this way, layering them on top of each other, until all the mixture is gone. Note that the growing stack of pancakes remains in the frying pan all this time. After that, we put our multi-layered omelette on a mat, cut off the uneven edges and give the omelette a rectangular shape. We paint a large plate (arbitrarily!) with Teriyaki sauce, put a handful of grated radish on one edge, opposite - sprigs of parsley, and between them - tamago-yaki cut into triangular pieces.
Tamago-yaki at home
How to Make Japanese Omelette When You Don't Have Itfor example, Mirin sweet rice wine? And the cooking process itself requires a certain amount of skill. Therefore, we offer you a simplified recipe for a Japanese omelet adapted to our domestic products. The main thing here is to learn how to make a neat roll from omelet pancakes. Ingredients:
- 5 chicken eggs;
- 2 tablespoons of white dry wine;
- 2 tablespoons of sugar;
- 1 teaspoon of soy sauce;
- 1 teaspoon of salt;
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
Preparation:The recipe is actually very simple, at least in terms of ingredients – all the ingredients are readily available. One noteworthy point: we will be making the omelette from four eggs and one yolk. So, pour the eggs and yolk into a bowl and whisk it all together, then strain the whisked mixture through a sieve – this is also required by the traditional Japanese omelette recipe. Add sugar, salt to the strained mixture and pour in soy sauce and white wine. After that, whisk everything together again until smooth and the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Now put a regular non-stick frying pan on the fire and grease it with oil. Pour a third of the omelette mixture into the heated frying pan and wait until it browns on the bottom and sets on top. After that, very quickly, using a spatula and a fork, roll the omelette pancake into a roll. We leave it in the frying pan and pour another portion of the mixture onto the freed part of the bottom. We do the same with the second pancake. Only we roll it up from the other side so that the first roll is inside the second pancake. And then we pour the rest of the egg mixture into the frying pan, bake the third pancake and roll it into a roll together with the previous ones. Our Japanese omelette is ready! We remove it from the frying pan, give it a rectangular shape and serve with wasabi and pickled ginger.
Japanese omelette on a rice cushion
The recipe is very simple, and the resulting dish will please you not only with its unusual taste, but also with its original appearance. It is best to serve this omelette with fried red fish. Ingredients:
- 4 chicken eggs;
- Half a pack of rice;
- 4 pieces of sugar;
- Red caviar;
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce;
- Vegetable oil.
Preparation:For a rice pillow, it is advisable to take cereals that are sufficiently sticky. It is from this rice that we can easily make rice pillows. So, boil the rice in salted water, throw it in a colander and rinse. Now break the eggs into a bowl and add soy sauce and sugar. You do not need to add salt to the mixture - soy sauce performs its function. Wait for the sugar to dissolve and beat the mixture until a light foam appears. Then take a frying pan (preferably with a non-stick coating, since our omelet mixture has sugar). To ensure that the omelet does not burn and can be easily removed from the pan, grease it with vegetable oil and put it on the fire. When the pan is hot, pour the omelet mixture into it and fry under the lid. Then the omelet will be loose. Let the finished omelette cool and cut it into pieces the size of the rice pads. Form the pads in the form of cubes from the boiled rice. To do this, first roll them into dense balls, and then press them down from the sides. Put a piece of omelette on each pad and decorate with red caviar. Serve with fried red fish as a side dish. It turned out very Japanese!
Omelette for rolls
Everyone knows Japanese rolls, sushi and sashimiand cooked with an omelette too. It is noteworthy that this omelette is used either as a filling for rolls or as a wrapper. In the first case, it is cooked according to a traditional recipe, and in the second case, it is baked in the form of thin pancakes. So if you decide to experiment in this direction, try making an omelette for rolls with rice. Ingredients:
- 6 eggs;
- Tablespoon of powdered sugar;
- Tablespoon soy sauce;
- A tablespoon of white wine.
Preparation:Lightly beat the eggs with a whisk, add powdered sugar and pour in the liquid ingredients. Beat the mixture again and bake thin omelette pancakes in a non-stick frying pan. The finished pancakes can be used to make rice rolls. If you need an omelette filling for rolls, then simply cook the traditional tomago yaki, then cut it into multi-layer strips and make one of the filling components. Rolls with rice and omelette are very tasty. Here is such a different Japanese omelette. By the way, the recipe can be diversified by baking pancakes for a roll with some filling. For example, you can sprinkle a half-cooked pancake with stewed vegetables, you can add ham or herbs cut into small pieces. Or you can sprinkle the pancake with boiled rice or grated cheese. True, this will not be a real tamago-yaki, but an omelette inspired by Japanese cuisine. So, it's a small matter. We choose a recipe and learn how to make a roll from omelette pancakes. Of course, the Japanese omelette turns out to be not quite the usual, but very tasty, porous and silky. Try it - maybe this dish will become your signature dish.
