Japanese Sweet Egg

Directions

  1. Whip eggs, soy sauce, dashi, sugar and mirin together. Heat oil in nonstick skillet on medium heat.

  2. Pour a thin layer of eggs into the skillet. Tilt skillet to move eggs to cover the entire bottom of the skillet. Cook until eggs are set and no visible liquid eggs remain. When eggs are set, start at one edge of the pan and roll egg to the other side. Keep rolled egg in skillet. Repeat technique about 5 or 6 times until all egg is cooked. Place cooked egg on sheet of plastic wrap and roll to help set shape, about 5 minutes. Unwrap, and cut into 1/2-inch slices, then turn each slice on its side and cut again into 1/2-inch pieces.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dashi
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. mirin
  • Grapeseed oil, as needed

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
