Tamagoyaki is that sweet rolled egg you find in sushi, such as the futomaki roll. It's fluffy and a little sweet. I was craving this today and I remembered my Japanese conversation partner taught me to use honey when making tamagoyaki. So, I tried it out today for dinner and it turned out so well, if I may say so myself. ;) keke. Try it out for a fast, easy, oishii (yummy) super. I put mine over some quick stir fried veggies.


Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1tsp honey
- 1 tsp of warm water
- nonstick cooking spray or oil

Directions
1. In a bowl, mix the honey and warm water together until the honey is completely dissolved in the water.
2. Add the egg into the bowl and whisk together.
3. Heat a pan on medium heat and spray with non stick cooking spray.
4. When pan is heated, pour egg into pan and try to distribute the egg so you have a thin even layer.
5. Wait till the egg is almost completely cooked through (turn the heat lower if it's burning the bottom). The top should be just a little bit runny.
6. Check to see if the egg is not stuck to the bottom of the pan. Start rolling the egg from one side carefully with your cooking spatula.
7. Once rolled up into a spiral kind shape, put a lid on the pan* and turn to very low heat. This step is to make sure the egg is cooked through.

*** If your pan doesn't come with a lid, it's fine. Just cook it a little longer with low heat.

Dear KamanKaman!
Greetings and well done!
Next time add a little "dashi"/Japanese stock with the eggs before cooking!
The honey is a very good idea. My own Japanese wife does the same as sugar is not as healthy!
Looking forward to visiting and commenting again!
Cheers,

Hi Robert-Gilles,
Thank you for commenting. I have heard about adding dashi to the egg, but is that the salty version or can it still be sweet? I am going to try it for sure though! Thank you for visiting my site! :)

Hi Kaman kaman!
No, the dashi does not have to be salty. I do not know what you can put your hands on at home, but there are many varieties you can choose from. Actually, you could balance it by adding salt at all!
