Cook time

20 minutes

Ingredients
2 servings

  • Eggs
    3
  • Okra
    3
  • (A)Japanese sweet cooking wine (Mirin)
    1 tbsp
  • (A)Soy sauce
    1 tsp
  • (A)Japanese style granulated soup stock
    1 tsp
  • (A)Water
    50 ml
  • Salad oil
    1 tbsp

How to make

  1. Prepare. Roll okra on the chopping board to have a better texture.
  2. 1. Cut off the stem of the okra and slice thinly.
  3. 2. In a bowl, mix together the egg, Step 1 and ingredient (A).
  4. 3. Add cooking oil on a medium-heated Japanese tamagoyaki omelet pan and spread it all over with a paper towel. Pour in 1/3 of Step 2, and when it becomes half-cooked, roll it and push it to the back.
  5. 4. Reduce the heat to low and pour in 1/3 of Step 2. When the edges have hardened and are half-cooked, roll from the back towards the front. Repeat the process, and when the egg is cooked, remove it from the heat.
  6. 5. Cut into bite-sized pieces, place it on a plate, and it's ready to serve.

Tips for cooking

Please adjust the amount of salt to your liking. For Step 4, each time you add the egg mixture, try to use the paper towel that absorbed the oil from Step 3 to coat the pan. It helps to cook nicely. The okra may be sticky and hard to roll. It's easier to roll with a flipper than with long chopsticks.
