After failing to deliver my package Tuesday, Amazon was able to deliver it by Wednesday noon. As I mentioned in the original post, I had ordered a tamagoyaki pan. Like many items on Amazon, there were many identical pans “produced” from various strangely named brands. This typically means that all the items were made by one factory in China, and either sold by different importers or the same company trying to create fake competition. These pans were around $15-$20, and came with the identical spatula plus some other accessory. I managed to find one that was made in Korea for $20 that had thousands of positive reviews so I bought that one instead. There was also a very nice Japanese pan made of cast iron, but it was $55.
Since it was around lunchtime, I made a test omelette to see if I can even roll the egg properly. I used three eggs, some chicken broth instead of dashi, pinch of salt and sugar, a bit of light soy sauce, and dome bacon bits that I bought for salads. The heat was probably too high since the eggs cooked very quickly, which made it hard to roll evenly. I managed to get four pours with the egg mix, but the final layer broke off. The photo above was about two and a half eggs worth. The final taste was okay but overcooked. I will try again with two eggs and lower heat to see if I can make the layers thinner and softer.
Three eggs at once is too much for one person anyway.
