Tamagoyaki is a Japanese omelette that can be enjoyed for breakfast or served in a bento box. Flavored with dashi and soy sauce, it is full of umami and has a light, fluffy texture similar to soft tofu. The Anova Precision Oven naturally does a great job cooking omelettes, especially the rolled kind because you can cook the eggs in a sheet. For tamagoyaki, the sheet is then pressed into a block using a bamboo sushi mat. For beginners, it might be challenging to roll perfectly, but practice makes perfect (and even messy results are delicious). You can serve this dish cold or warm; instructions for both options are included in the recipe steps.

4. Roll Tamagoyaki

Use a rubber spatula to loosen all sides of the tamagoyaki with a rubber spatula. To roll, gently lift one short side with a wide spatula or a plastic bench scraper. A wider tool will help you keep the tamagoyaki intact. Gently roll up the eggs from one side to the other until you achieve a nice, rectangular shape. Be gentle, but don’t worry if a little bit breaks.

5. Mold

Transfer to a bamboo sushi mat and firmly enclose the tamagoyaki. Place a cutting board on top to weigh down the tamagoyaki until it forms a solid block, 5 to 10 minutes. Unroll the sushi mat and trim off the ends of the tamagoyaki.
