(Chicken Omelet Recipe)

Ingredients:   Serves 2

3 eggs

2 tablespoons dashi or water

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon soy sauce

vegetable oil for frying

 

Filling:

½ cup finely chopped cooked chicken

2 teaspoons Japanese soy sauce

2 teaspoons mirin or dry sherry

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

 

Method:

Beat eggs and add dashi, salt and soy.  Heat omelet pan and grease lightly with a few drops of oil, pour in the egg and cook until set on the bottom, but liquid on top.  Put chicken filling in a neat line across the omelet and roll the egg mixture firmly around it, away from you.  Turn on to a plate, cut in two and serve immediately.  This chicken omelet may also be rolled in a bamboo mat (sudare), left until cool and firm, then unrolled, sliced and served as an hors d'oeuvre.

 

Filling:

Flavor chicken with soy, mirin, sugar and juice pressed from the grated ginger.
