This Japanese Rolled Omelette, or Tamagoyaki, gets a healthy twist with a dash of American Ginseng Powder and fresh fillings like lettuce and chives. The secret is the separate preparation of the egg whites and yolks, creating a beautiful, soft, layered texture that's perfect for breakfast or a light meal. It’s easy to master and super nutritious!
Ingredients:
- Eggs: 4–5 large (or enough to fill your pan)
- Prince of Peace American Ginseng Powder: About 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to your taste)
- Lettuce: A small handful, finely chopped
- Chives/Scallions (Shrimp Chives): About 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- Salt: A pinch for each egg mixture
- Oil: For greasing the pan
Instructions:
- Separate the Eggs: Gently separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two different bowls.
- Mix the White Base: To the egg whites, add a pinch of salt, the Prince of Peace American Ginseng Powder and the chopped lettuce. Mix everything thoroughly.
- Mix the Yellow Base: To the egg yolks, add a pinch of salt and the chopped chives/scallions. Mix well.
- Prep the Pan: Lightly oil and heat your Tamagoyaki pan (or a small square non-stick pan) over low heat. Low and slow is key!
- Pour the First Layer (White): Pour about one-third of the egg white mixture into the hot pan, tilting to cover the bottom evenly.
- Roll the First Layer: Just as the egg white begins to set but is still slightly moist on top, use chopsticks or a spatula to carefully roll it from one side to the center to form a thick log. Leave it in the pan.
- Grease and Pour the Second Layer (Yellow): Lightly grease the empty space in the pan again. Lift the egg roll slightly and pour about half of the egg yolk mixture underneath and across the empty space. It needs to flow under the rolled log to create a seamless bond.
- Roll and Stack: Once the yolk layer is set, roll the entire log back toward the empty side of the pan.
- Build the Layers (Optional): Repeat steps 6 and 7, using the remaining egg mixtures until all the egg has been used, creating a beautiful layered rectangle.
- Serve: Slide the finished log out, slice it into thick pieces, and sprinkle with a few extra chives for garnish. Enjoy!
Tip: If you want a traditional look, you can stick to one bowl for all the egg mixture, but separating them gives you that distinct, beautiful color layering!
