Nori eggs
My technique and the ability to get a tight roll, despite buying an egg pan (rectangular or square with the handle on the short side) needs practice, but the taste profile is right so I am holding onto this recipe anyway and passing it on.
Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs
- 2/3 to 3/4 cup dashi
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 T. mirin
- 1 1/2 T. sugar
- 1 T. shoyu
- 6 pieces nori cut in half
Directions:
- Whisk everything but nori. You are not trying to get it foaming, just mixed.
- Heat pan with a little veg oil. When the pan is hot put about 1/2 c. egg mixture making sure that it is thin and even on pan. If it is too thick for the pan, use less.
- Put a piece of nori on raw top of egg and let egg cook until it is about 75% done.
- With a chopstick or spatula, roll the egg toward the bottom of the pan.
- Leave the pan in and pour another batch of eggs. Lift the egg at the bottom of the pan so the new batch is under.
- Do this 3 times then take the egg roll out. If you have a bamboo sushi roller you can roll the egg tight and some of the dashi will come out. Cook the rest of the egg mixture in the same way.
- When it is cooled enough, cut into pieces.
