Before you begin

Lifting the previous roll lets the next layer flow underneath and join neatly.

Method 做法

01

Season the eggs

Beat the eggs with salt, sugar, dashi and water until combined. Set out the egg mixture and a little oil beside the stove.

02

Cook the first layer

Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan over medium heat and brush lightly with oil. Swirl in about one-quarter of the mixture. When the layer is partly set but still tacky, roll it gently to one side.

03

Build the layers

Move the roll to the far end. Add another quarter of the egg and lift the roll just enough to let the wet egg run underneath. When it begins to set, roll toward you. Repeat with the remaining two portions.

Let the last seam set against the pan. Transfer to a board and cut across the roll to reveal the layers. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve chilled.

✦When should I start rolling each layer?
Roll while the surface is still tacky enough to stick to the next layer. If the first layer browns before it can be rolled, lower the heat.
