INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 🐟 80g grilled eel
    • 🥚 4 eggs
    • 6 shiso leaves
    • As needed salad oil

  • Sauce

    • 1 tbsp sake
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp mirin
    • 🧂 1/2 tbsp sugar

  • Egg Mixture

    • 💧 50ml water
    • 1/4 tsp dashi powder
    • 1 tsp soy sauce
    • 🧂 2 tsp sugar
    • 🧂 Pinch of salt

  • Garnish

    • As needed shiso leaves
    • As needed grated daikon

STEPS

1

Mix sake, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in a microwave-safe container. Heat uncovered at 600W for 30 seconds until sugar dissolves.

2

Cut the grilled eel in half lengthwise. Place on foil-lined toaster tray, coat with half the sauce, and toast for 1–2 minutes. Flip, coat with remaining sauce, and toast for another 1–2 minutes.

3

Mix water and dashi powder in a microwave-safe container. Heat uncovered at 600W for 30 seconds, then stir. Beat eggs in a bowl, add dashi mixture and remaining egg mixture ingredients, and combine.

4

Heat a tamagoyaki pan with a thin layer of salad oil over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan.

5

When the egg starts to set, place shiso leaves across the surface and eel at one end. Fold the egg from the eel side towards the other end.

6

Repeat the process, adding oil and 1/4 of the egg mixture each time, folding and rolling until all egg mixture is used.

7

Shape the rolled omelette with a sushi mat, let cool slightly, and slice into portions. Serve with shiso leaves and grated daikon as garnish.
