🍳 Authentic Tamagoyaki Recipe (Japanese Rolled Omelette)

Learn how to make Tamagoyaki — a soft, sweet, and savory Japanese rolled omelette. Perfect for breakfast, sushi, or bento boxes!

🕒 Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep time: 5 minutes
  • Cook time: 10 minutes
  • Total time: 15 minutes
  • Serves: 2–3

🧂 Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin (or substitute with a mix of water + sugar)
  • 1 tbsp dashi stock (optional, for extra umami)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Oil or butter, for frying

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. In a bowl, whisk eggs with sugar, soy sauce, mirin, dashi, and salt.
  2. Mix gently — do not overbeat to avoid bubbles.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  1. Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan (or small nonstick skillet) over medium-low heat.
  2. Lightly oil the pan using a paper towel.

Step 3: Cook in Layers

  1. Pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the pan, just enough to coat the bottom.
  2. When half-cooked, roll it gently from one end to the other using chopsticks or a spatula.
  3. Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan.
  4. Oil the pan again lightly, pour another thin layer of egg, lift the rolled part, and let the new egg run underneath.
  5. Once it sets, roll again to form a thicker omelette.
  6. Repeat until all the egg mixture is used.

Step 4: Shape & Serve

  • Remove from the pan, let it cool slightly, then slice into even pieces.
  • Serve warm or cold, plain or with soy sauce.

🍱 Serving Suggestions

  • Ideal for bento boxes, Japanese breakfast, or as sushi topping (Tamagoyaki Nigiri).
  • Pair with steamed rice, miso soup, or pickled vegetables.

❓ FAQs About Tamagoyaki

Q1: What does Tamagoyaki taste like?
A1: It’s a balanced mix of sweet, savory, and umami — soft and slightly custardy in texture.

Q2: Can I make Tamagoyaki without a rectangular pan?
A2: Yes! Use a small nonstick round skillet — your omelette shape will just be slightly different.

Q3: Why is my Tamagoyaki breaking when I roll it?
A3: The pan may be too hot. Cook on medium-low heat and roll gently while it’s still soft.

Q4: Can I store Tamagoyaki for later?
A4: Yes, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Q5: What can I add for flavor variations?
A5: Try adding green onions, seaweed flakes, or shredded carrots for extra flavor and color.

🍶 Tips for Perfect Tamagoyaki

  • Don’t overmix the eggs — small streaks give texture.
  • Keep the pan lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Use a fine mesh strainer to remove bubbles for a smooth finish.
