Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • A pinch of salt

  • Oil for greasing the pan

Directions

  • Whisk eggs with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and salt until smooth.
  • Heat a lightly oiled rectangular tamagoyaki pan or small skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the pan and tilt to spread.
  • When half-set, roll it from one side to the other and push it to the side.
  • Re-oil the pan, pour more egg, and lift the rolled egg to let uncooked mix flow underneath.
  • Repeat layering and rolling until all egg is used.
  • Remove, let rest briefly, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • A tamagoyaki pan helps with the perfect shape but isn’t necessary.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Serve with soy sauce or grated daikon for a traditional touch.

]]> Japanese Tamago (or Tamagoyaki) is a delicately layered rolled omelet that’s sweet, savory, and perfectly fluffy. Commonly served in sushi, bento boxes, or as a breakfast item in Japan, it’s a beautiful blend of simplicity and technique.

Origin Japanese Tamago Egg

Tamago originates from Japan and is a staple in traditional Japanese cuisine. Its name literally means “egg” in Japanese. Tamagoyaki, the rolled omelet version, became popular during the Edo period and has since been a breakfast favorite and sushi topping across Japan. It reflects the Japanese philosophy of balancing flavor, texture, and aesthetics in cooking.

What I Love About This Recipe

Tamago is soft, slightly sweet, and incredibly light. It’s not just an egg dish—it’s an art. The technique of rolling layers is fun and satisfying once mastered. It’s perfect on its own, in sushi, or sliced into a lunchbox. And despite its elegant look, it’s made from just a few simple ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine)

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • A pinch of salt

  • Oil for greasing the pan

Directions

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  • Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan or small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly oil the pan.
  • Pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the pan, tilting to spread evenly.
  • When the egg is half set, roll it from one side to the other using chopsticks or a spatula. Push the roll to one side.
  • Re-oil the pan and pour another thin layer of egg. Lift the rolled egg to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
  • Once this layer is half set, roll again, incorporating the previous roll.
  • Repeat until all egg mixture is used.
  • Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute. Slice into pieces and serve warm or chilled.

Notes

  • A tamagoyaki pan gives the best shape, but a small round skillet works too.
  • Adjust sugar for sweetness based on preference.
  • Serve with soy sauce or grated daikon for a traditional touch.
