Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. Slice the carrot, chop the green onion, celery, and onion finely. Shred the cooked chicken into small pieces.
-
-
Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add salt and ground black pepper to the mixture for seasoning.
-
Combine the Vegetables and Chicken: Gently fold the chopped vegetables and shredded chicken into the whisked eggs. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
-
Cook the First Layer: Heat a non-stick frying pan over low heat and add a little oil. Pour in one-third of the egg mixture, spreading it evenly across the pan. Let it cook until the edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.
-
Add the Cheese: Place the cheese slice on top of the semi-cooked omelette. Allow it to melt slightly as the egg continues to cook.
-
Roll the Omelette: Once the omelette is fully cooked on the bottom, carefully roll it towards the edge of the pan using a spatula. Move the rolled omelette to one side of the pan.
-
Repeat the Process: Pour another third of the egg mixture into the pan, ensuring it covers the rolled omelette. Let it cook until it starts to set, then roll it around the previous roll. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used up.
-
Final Cooking: Keep the heat low and allow the rolled omelette to cook through completely without flipping, ensuring even cooking.
-
Serve: Once cooked, transfer the tamagoyaki to a cutting board and slice it into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
Tips
- Low Heat: Always use low heat to ensure even cooking without burning the omelette.
- Oil Temperature: Make sure the oil is hot before adding the egg mixture to achieve the perfect texture.
- Cheese Variation: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or use shredded cheese for a delightful melty experience.
