Kyoto Dashimaki Tamago

だし巻き卵

A softer, more liquefied version of rolled omelette than Tokyo's tamagoyaki — the Kyoto style uses a higher ratio of dashi for a custardy, trembling texture prized in kappo cuisine.

Method

  1. Beat eggs, then mix in dashi (high ratio — this is the key Kyoto difference), usukuchi soy, mirin, sugar, and salt. Strain through a sieve.

    About 5 min

  2. Heat rectangular tamagoyaki pan over medium-low heat. Brush with oil — use a paper towel folded small.

    About 2 min

  3. Pour one-quarter of the egg mixture. Tilt pan so it spreads thinly. When just barely set on top (still jiggly), start rolling from far edge using chopsticks.

    About 3 min

  4. Push roll to the far end. Oil pan again. Pour another quarter of egg under and beside the roll. When set, roll again incorporating the previous roll.

    About 3 min

  5. Repeat twice more. Shape in bamboo mat for 3 minutes. Slice and serve with grated daikon, shiso, and a few drops of soy sauce.

    About 6 min
