    About this recipe

    • Japanese egg dish
    • Use 3 eggs
    • Season with salt
    • Fillings: canned tuna and scallion

    📋 Ingredients

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

    Ingredients for Tuna and Scallion Tamagoyaki (Japanese Rolled Omelette)
    • Eggs
    • Salt: I use sea salt.
    • Soy milk: I use unsweetened soy milk. You can substitute it with other milk or water. Adding soy milk will make tamagoyaki softer.
    • Canned tuna: You can use both canned tuna in water or oil. Use the one with no salt added.
    • Scallion

    🔪Instructions

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

    How to make Tuna and Scallion Tamagoyaki (Japanese Rolled Omelette)
    1. Prepare fillings: Chop scallion, and drain the oil (or water) in a canned tuna. 
    2. Make an egg mixture: Beat eggs in a bowl, add fillings, salt, and soy milk, and mix. (Cutting the chunk of egg white with chopsticks makes the mixture mix evenly.)
    3. Prepare a pan: Heat a Japanese omelet pan over medium heat, add oil and wipe off excess oil with a paper towel. (Spread the oil on the side as well.)
    4. 1st layer: The egg mixture is added in 3 times. Pour ⅓ of the egg mixture, and when the surface is still soft and the bottom is cooked, roll it 3 to 4 times from the back and move to the back. (If you see bubbles on the surface, poke with chopsticks to break it to make it flat and cook evenly. It's ok if the first layer becomes a little messy as you can recover it later.)
    5. 2nd layer: Add some oil if necessary, pour half of the egg mixture, lift the tamagoyaki and pour the mixture under the bottom. When the surface is almost cooked, roll it 3 to 4 times from the back and move to the back.
    6. 3rd layer: Pour the rest and repeat the previous step.

    Here you go!

    If the shape isn't perfect, don't worry, you can wrap it up with a paper towel and shape it by hand. Let it cool down as it's fragile right from the pan and cut it into the size you like.

    If you have leftover, store 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

    What to serve with

    Japanese Tamagoyaki(tuna and scallion), rice and soup
