Tamago-yaki is made by combining eggs, milk, sugar and salt in equal proportions. Unlike other egg dishes, tamago-yaki has a long, rectangular shape and is slightly thick. To make tamago-yaki, you have to repeat the snowballing motion, frying it in a continuous cycle.
Techniques for Tamago-yaki
1. When beating the eggs, you need to beat the whisk up slowly to ensure a smooth egg mixture. At the same time, when frying, you need to turn over regularly to ensure equal frying time on both sides for better flavor.
2. Generally speaking, you can add some more flavorful or aromatic seasonings according to your personal taste. For example, you can add abalone juice or seasonings such as chicken essence or mushroom essence to add a rich flavor.
3. Choosing the right pan and ingredients will also affect the taste of tamago-yaki. If you are using other pots and pans, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy pans, you will need to add a little bit of sesame oil or mayonnaise to add flavor and prevent sticking to the pan. For pots and pans that have already been molded, you can use them directly for frying without adding anything else to the preparation.
