Japanese Omlette Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until the yolks and whites are completely combined and the beaten eggs are frothy, about 2 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to foam, add the beaten eggs and immediately begin stirring with long chopsticks. Move the skillet on and off the heat in 5-second intervals to control the setting of the eggs. If your omelet is setting too quickly, reduce the heat to low. Push the edges of the omelet toward the center of the skillet as they begin to set, about 2 minutes. Large curds will form in the middle of the skillet. At this point, stop stirring with the chopsticks and swirl the skillet until the liquid is nearly completely set, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat. Use the chopsticks to gently loosen the edges of the omelet. Fold the omelet into a half-moon shape using both chopsticks. Return the skillet to low heat, tilting it at a 45-degree angle to allow any loose egg mixture to run to the edges and soft set, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Quickly roll the omelet away from you in the skillet until a log forms. Tilt the skillet and push the omelet out of it, landing it seam-side down over your cooked dish of choice. Make a lengthwise slice in the top of the omelet to reveal the soft-set curds.

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
• Heat 1/3 of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/3 of the egg mixture and quickly swirl the pan to evenly cover the bottom. Start rolling up the omelette from one side to the other as soon as it is set.
• Keep the roll to one side, then add another 1/3 of the oil to the skillet and another 1/3 of the egg. Swirl the pan, ensuring the entire bottom is covered, including around and underneath the first roll. Cook until set. Roll up from the side containing the first roll, so that is now at the center.
• Repeat the process with the remaining oil and egg. Transfer rolled omelette to a bamboo rolling mat. Roll up tightly and allow to cool for a few minutes.
• Unwrap the omelette and slice into 6 pieces. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Gently whisk until the yolks and whites are homogeneous, without incorporating excess air.
• Add the sugar, salt, soy sauce, mirin, and dashi stock and whisk to combine. Pour into a spouted liquid measuring cup for easy pouring.
• Heat a tamagoyaki pan over medium-high heat. Use a folded paper towel and chopsticks or a silicone brush to brush a generous layer of oil on the pan, making sure to get the sides and corners.
• Pour ⅙ of the egg mixture into the pan and quickly tilt to cover the bottom evenly. When the egg is mostly set, but still looks wet on top, gently roll the egg toward you. Push the rolled egg to the opposite side of the pan. Brush the pan with oil and pour in another ⅙ of the egg mixture. Lift up the rolled egg and let the mixture flow underneath. When the egg is almost set, roll the omelette toward you, then push to the other side of the pan. Repeat, adding ⅙ of the mixture at a time and continuing to roll the egg into a large roll. If at any time the pan seems too hot, remove the pan from the heat for a few seconds to cool down instead of adjusting the heat on the stove.
• Remove the rolled omelette from the pan and wrap in a sushi mat, then press into a rectangle, if desired.
• Let cool slightly, then cut crosswise into 1-inch (2.54 cm) slices.
• Serve with grated radish and soy sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the rice: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon butter, and then onion and carrot. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent and a little browned at the edges, about 3 minutes. Add ham and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 30 seconds.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and then rice, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or long chopsticks. Adjust heat to medium and cook until the grains are glossy, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in ketchup and soy sauce, and cook, stirring, another 30 seconds or so to caramelize. Stir in peas to heat through, and deglaze the pan with dashi or chicken stock. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To make a perfect mound of rice on each plate, grease a small bowl with canola or safflower oil and pack 1 cup of the rice. Invert this over a plate and remove the bowl. Repeat with the other half of the rice on a second plate.
• Make the omelet: In a small (6- or 7-inch) nonstick skillet (or a well-seasoned carbon steel omelet pan), heat 1/2 teaspoon oil, or just enough to coat the pan, over medium-high. Beat 2 eggs with 1/2 teaspoon dashi or water, until yolks and whites are completely blended. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan. Shake and swirl the pan over the heat, stirring constantly with chopsticks or a fork as the eggs cook. When lots of small curds have formed and the eggs are custardy, about 30 seconds, let cook undisturbed until nearly set, about 30 seconds. Run a butter knife or small spatula around the edge of the omelet, and tap the pan firmly against the stove to release the omelet. Turn the omelet out onto the rice, custardy side down. Use a clean dish towel or paper towel to push the edges under the rice.
• Repeat with the other 2 eggs for the second omelet. Dress the omelets with a zigzag of ketchup (or a cute design if you've got a steady hand), and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine eggs, mirin, soy sauce, dashi (if using) and sugar. Whisk until well combined.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a tamagoyaki pan or a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium. Using a small piece of folded paper towel, carefully wipe the excess oil from the pan and set aside paper towel (you will need it to grease the pan for each egg layer).
• Pour about 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the pan and quickly tilt the pan, swirling the egg mixture around to create an even layer. If there are thicker areas, gently poke a small hole at the thickest point with chopsticks and tilt and swirl the pan to cover exposed areas with more raw egg to form an even layer.
• After the layer is cooked, about 1 minute, using chopsticks or a rubber spatula, gently lift the egg edges on the farthest side to loosen the layer's grip. While tilting the pan, carefully fold the egg about 1/4 of the way toward yourself. Continue to fold the egg equally on itself until you have a narrow, rectangular omelet at the edge of the pan nearest you. Reduce the heat to medium-low if the egg is browning.
• Using the paper towel, lightly grease the exposed area of the pan. Pour another 3 tablespoons of the remaining egg mixture into the exposed area of the pan and quickly swirl it around to create another layer. Use chopsticks or a soft spatula to gently lift up the folded omelet and tilt the pan toward you so the raw egg mixture runs under the omelet.
• Once the layer is cooked, gently roll the omelet away from you in three to four flips. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 with remaining three layers, greasing the pan before each additional layer. The number of flips will decrease as the omelet grows in size with each additional layer.
• Transfer omelet to a cutting board or a plate when done. Cut crosswise into four pieces and rotate, cut side up, to show egg layers. (If using a nonstick 8-inch skillet, you can trim both ends of the omelet to make them even.) Serve immediately or chill for later.

Steps:

• Mix eggs, water, soy sauce, and sugar in a bowl with a fork until combined.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet and stir with a fork. Cook until omelet begins to set and liquid is no longer visible, 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in half twice.
