Prep: 5 min | Cook: 12 min | Total: 27 min
Cost: $1.00 total, $0.50 per serving
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs (large, room temperature)
- 2 Tbsp Water (cold)
- 0.5 tsp Instant Dashi Powder (Japanese instant soup stock, adds umami)
- 1 Tbsp Granulated Sugar (adjust to taste; traditional recipe is slightly sweet)
- 1 pinch Salt (plus an additional 1 tsp later)
- 1 tsp Mirin (sweet rice wine, adds shine)
- 1 tsp Sake (dry Japanese rice wine)
- 2 Tbsp Canola Oil (for cooking and oiling the pan with a paper towel)
Instructions
Prepare the egg mixture
Crack 2 eggs into the mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsp water, ½ tsp instant dashi powder, 1 Tbsp sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp mirin and 1 tsp sake. Beat vigorously until the mixture is uniform and the sugar is dissolved.
Time: PT5M
Heat the pan and oil it
Place the small round skillet on a medium‑heat induction burner (level 4/7). Add 1 Tbsp canola oil, then use a folded paper towel to spread the oil evenly, coating the entire surface.
Time: PT1M
Temperature: Medium heat
Cook the first layer
Pour about one‑quarter of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting to cover the surface. When the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny, fold the edges toward the center, then roll the omelette toward the far side of the pan.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium heat
Add the second layer
Wipe the pan with a fresh piece of oil‑soaked paper towel. Push the rolled first layer to the far edge, then pour another one‑third of the egg mixture, letting it flow underneath the first roll. When half‑cooked, fold both sides inward and roll the whole thing back toward the opposite edge.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium heat
Cook the third layer
Again oil the pan with a new paper towel. Add half of the remaining egg mixture, spread, and when the surface is lightly set, fold both sides and roll the omelette back onto itself, creating a tighter roll.
Time: PT2M
Temperature: Medium heat
Finish with the final layer
Oil the pan one last time, pour the remaining egg mixture, pull the sides in, and roll the omelette into a compact log. Transfer it onto a paper towel, wrap loosely to keep moisture in, and let rest for 5 minutes.
Time: PT3M
Temperature: Medium heat
Slice and serve
Unwrap, trim a small amount from both ends for a clean look, then slice the roll into six even pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Time: PT2M
