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 are ok. If you have a 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

Okay, 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 and 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, but 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 the simple taste of 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.

The dashi version is called Dashi maki. 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
