Tamago yaki | Cooking With Koji

Here is easy Japanese breakie & lunch for the day you slept in.

Omusubi (rice balls), miso soup, rolled egg and pickles.
Perfect !

Make dashi for miso soup.

Cook rice and make rice balls as you like.

While cooking rice, make rolled egg.

Add some mirin.

And start making it.

Roll roll roll.

Done!

Then back to soup.
Cook some vegetable ( I used Daikon for this day) in dashi soup, and add fried tofu.
(For miso soup, you can put anything you like, that is good thing about miso soup. No rules)
Take some miso paste in the ladle. Then let it dissolve in the soup.

Serve with spring onion.

Of course, enjoy with Japanese tea.

Itadakimasu !

One of the most popular Japanese side dish (Okazu) for lunch box!
It’s Tamago-yaki.
Everyone loves it.
It adds nice colour into your lunch ♪
I make it with Mirin & Shio-Koji. Sometimes with Dashi, sometimes with sugar.

It is not difficult to make!
Try for your tomorrow’s lunch.

Egg!

Then add Shio-Koji (option)
I think, this Shio-koji makes Tamago-yaki taste yummy and mild,
but this is not essential!

Then pour some Mirin ! This bring this Tamago-yaki nice and soft sweetness.

Beat them well.

Then…
Oh, sometimes I add little bit of green bits.
Today, I had beans, so chopped them and added into egg.

Prepare pan, pour little bit of oil and heat it.

Then pour the egg into the pan.
First, pour half of egg.

Then start rolling it !

Then bring the rolled egg into your side.

Start again! Pour rest of egg into the pan.

and spread it all over the pan.

Then start rolling again.

Teda~~. Done!!

But if you make the rolled egg more nicely rolled shape,
you can use Makisu (rolling mat) !!
If your rolled egg didn’t go well, this rolling mat will fix it!
Try it when egg is still hot.
