Japanese tamagoyaki with meat and tomato Recipe

Japanese · Main course · 25 min total

A savory Japanese rolled omelette filled with seasoned ground meat and sweet tomato, perfect for breakfast or bento.

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup ground pork or chicken
• 1/2 tomato, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon mirin
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine ground meat, chopped tomato, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger. Mix well.
2. Heat a tamagoyaki pan or small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and spread evenly.
3. Pour a thin layer of egg mixture (about 1/3 of total) into the pan, tilting to cover the bottom. Cook until just set but still moist on top.
4. Spoon half of the meat mixture along one edge of the egg. Using a spatula, carefully roll the egg over the filling to the opposite side.
5. Push the rolled omelette to the starting edge, oil the pan again, and pour another thin layer of egg. Lift the existing roll to let the raw egg flow underneath.
6. Repeat with remaining egg and meat mixture, rolling and layering until all ingredients are used.
7. Remove from pan, let cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• Use a rectangular tamagoyaki pan for easier rolling.
• Keep the heat medium-low to avoid browning the egg too much.
• Leftover tamagoyaki can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated.
