Spatulatta.com Tamago Tamago is the traditional Japanese sweet omelet. It's the bright yellow stuff that you see inside a maki or sushi handroll. The trick to keeping your tamago bright yellow is to not mix the eggs too much. Just giving a little stir keeps the egg white and yolk slightly separate so the overall look is the deep yellow of the egg yolk. Makes 6 servings You'll need: 3 eggs 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil 2 teaspoons of sugar ½ teaspoon of mirin A little adult help Equipment: A small bowl Chopsticks or a fork A flexible spatula A fry pan 2 small plates Mix the eggs lightly with the chopsticks or a fork – don’t beat. Add the sugar and mirin then stir again. Heat the frying pan and oil. Add the eggs and cook on low – don’t let them brown. As the eggs cook, fold the sides over the center then fold the two long ends over. Press down with the spatula Transfer the tamago to a plate and put another plate on top to press. Slice the tamago into strips to use in the hand rolls or add to your bento box as a side dish.
