Recipe: Andrew Zimmern's Japanese Omelet (Dashimaki Tamago)

dashi

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and can be more budget-friendly.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce is healthier, while tamari can be a gluten-free alternative.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs and dashi until well combined.

Heat a traditional dashimaki tamago pan over medium heat and lightly oil it.

Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting to spread evenly.

Use a rubber spatula to roll the omelette rather than chopsticks for easier handling.

Cook until the edges start to set, then roll the omelette towards one side of the pan.

Add more egg mixture to the pan, lifting the rolled omelette to allow the uncooked mixture to flow underneath.

Repeat the process until all the egg mixture is used, forming layers.

Remove from the pan and drizzle with sweet miso sauce before serving.
