    About this recipe

    • Japanese rolled omelet
    • Use 3 eggs and nori
    • Season with salt
    • Vegetarian dish

    📋 Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).

    海苔入り卵焼きの材料
    • Eggs
    • Nori seaweed: I used small seasoned nori sheets in the recipe, but any nori sheets is ok. If you have larger one, cut it into a smaller size before using it.
    • Salt: Any salt is ok. I use sea salt.
    • Soy milk: I use unsweetened soy milk. You can substitute it with cow milk or other plant-based milk. Adding it will make the tamagoyaki more fluffy.
    • Oil for cooking

    🔪Instructions

    Ok, let me walk you through how to make it step by step. You can watch this video as well.

    海苔入り卵焼きの材料ステップ
    1. Beat eggs in a bowl, add salt, soy milk, and mix.
    2. Heat a Japanese omelet pan and add oil.
    3. Cook 1st layer and roll it.
    4. Cook 2nd layer and roll it.
    5. Cook 3rd layer and roll it.

    If you don't have a Japanese omelet pan, that's ok. You can cook it with your small round pan. The finished shape won't be square, and it will be round on the end. (See: How to make tamagoyaki)

    切り分けられた海苔入り卵焼き

    Nori tamagoyaki is ready for you! Let's let it cool down before cutting as it will be fragile right out of the pan.

    If it loses its shape at the end, no worry, place a paper towel over the top and reshape it.

    You can store it in the fridge for 3 days.

    Variations

    Seasoning

    This recipe uses only salt for seasoning, but it's also a good idea to swap seasoning. You can try these:

    • Sugar
    • Soy sauce
    • Dashi (soup stock)

    I like simple taste tamagoyaki with only salt, but some people like sweet tamagoyaki with sugar. If you add sugar, it will burn easily, so It's better to cook quickly.

    Dashi version is called Dashi maki and it's more savory and it's really good.

    You can add 1 teaspoon for each one.

    Fillings

    Here are other tamagoyaki filling ideas:

    • Brocolli
    • Gren beans
    • Bell pepper
    • Potatoes
    • Tomatoes
    • Onions
    • Carrot
    • Salmon flakes
    • Dried baby shrimps

    Description

    Try this Nori Tamagoyaki recipe if you are looking for tamagoyaki variations that taste amazing and are easy to make. It's light yet flavorful in every bite!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 3 Eggs
    • 2 Tbsp Soy Milk
    • 3 pinches of Salt
    • 9 small slices Nori seaweed
    • Oil for cooking

    Instructions

    1. Make an egg mixture: Beat eggs in a bowl, add salt, soy milk, and mix.
    2. Prepare a pan: Heat a Japanese omelet pan over medium heat, add oil and wipe off excess oil with a paper towel.
    3. 1st layer: The egg mixture is added 3 times. Pour ⅓ of the egg mixture, and when the surface is still soft and the bottom is cooked, place nori seaweed, roll it from the back and move it to the back.
    4. 2nd layer: Add some oil if necessary, pour half of the egg mixture, lift the tamagoyaki and pour the mixture under the bottom. Place nori sheet, roll it from the back when the surface is almost cooked, and move it to the back.
    5. 3rd layer: Pour the rest of the egg mixture and repeat step 4.

    Notes

    • Equipment: Japanese omelet pan (13 x 18cm/5.1 x 7.1 inch)
    • Storage: It will last for 3 days in the fridge.
    • Substitute: You can substitute soy milk with your favorite milk, such as oat milk and almond milk. 
    • Servings: This recipe will make 6 to 7 slices.
    • I used a small nori seaweed in the recipe, but if you have a larger nori seaweed, cut it into a smaller size before using it.
    • If it loses its shape, place a paper towel over the top and reshape.
    • Freshly made tamagoyaki is easy to crumble, so let it cool down before cutting it.
