Dashimaki Tamago Japanese Omelet (Ep.1 / Bento Side Dish Recipes) | Basic Tokyo

== Ingredients (2 servings) ==
Eggs 2
Water 2TBSP
Hondashi 1tsp
Sugar 1TBSP
Soy Sauce : 1/2tsp
Salt 1/4tsp
Vegetable Oil : Approx. 1-2TBSP

== Directions ==
1. Break two eggs in a cup and mix well.
2. Mix together 2TBSP of water, 1tsp of hondashi, 1TBSP of sugar, 0.5tsp of soy sauce, and a pinch of salt. Then add it to the egg and mix well.
3. Heat a little bit of oil on a rectangular pan on medium heat, and put 1/3 of the mixture on the pan. If the eggs bubble up, break them. when its halfway solid, gently roll them up to one side of the pan. This first layer does not have to be rolled very clean.
4. Wipe the pan with a little bit more of oil, and put in another 1/3 of the mixture. Lift up the cooked egg to let the uncooked egg flow under it, and make sure the rest of the egg is spread out evenly. When it looks more than half cooked, start rolling the eggs to make wraps around it. Repeat the process once more with the remaining mixture.
5. Turn the heat off, and let it sit on the pan for a little bit to cook through thoroughly. Cut into bite size pieces and its done!

When this dish isn’t for bentos, I recommend putting on a bit of daikon-oroshi and soy sauce for a deeper flavor.
