Telor Dadar / Tamagoyaki: A Delightful Indonesian-Japanese Fusion Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 stalks green onions
- Pepper (optional, to taste)
- Chicken or vegetable bouillon powder
- Oil (for frying)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Green Onions: Start by finely chopping the green onions. This will add a fresh, aromatic flavor to your tamagoyaki.
-
Mix the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of chicken or vegetable bouillon powder. Whisk the mixture vigorously until it becomes frothy and well combined.
-
Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers, ensuring the entire surface of the pan is coated.
-
Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for a few moments until the edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.
-
Add the Green Onions: Sprinkle the chopped green onions evenly over the surface of the eggs.
-
Fold and Roll: As the eggs start to firm up, gently fold one edge of the egg sheet over itself, then continue to roll it towards the other end of the pan. This technique helps create a layered, fluffy texture.
-
Finish Cooking: Continue to cook the rolled egg for another minute or so, turning it occasionally to ensure it cooks through evenly.
-
Serve: Slide the tamagoyaki onto a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
This simple yet flavorful Telor Dadar, also known as Tamagoyaki, brings together the comforting elements of Indonesian and Japanese cuisine. Perfect for a light breakfast or as part of a bento box, this dish is easy to make and full of savory goodness. Enjoy! 😊
