Inspired by Spanish omelets, this is a Japanese-style rolled omelet called 'Nikujaga Tamagoyaki.' It features sweet and savory nikujaga (meat and potato stew) ingredients wrapped in egg, making it perfect with rice or as a snack. This popular dish, which showcases Chef Kasahara's ingenuity, is also ideal for bento boxes.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients (3-4 servings)
- Ground Chicken Thigh 200g
- Potatoes 3 medium
- Onion 1/2 medium
- Eggs 4 large
Seasonings
- [A] Sugar 1.5 tbsp
- [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 3 tbsp
- [A] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
- [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
- Grated Daikon Radish (to taste)
- Ichimi Togarashi (Japanese Chili Powder) (a pinch)
- Vegetable Oil (for cooking)
- Salt (a pinch)
Steps
- Peel 3 medium potatoes and soak them briefly in water.
- Dice the potatoes into 1cm cubes.
- Place the diced potatoes in a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and parboil them from cold water. Once tender, drain in a colander. (Key Tip! Starting the potato parboiling from cold water is recommended.)
- Finely chop the 1/2 medium onion.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and stir-fry the 200g ground chicken thigh, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Once the minced chicken starts to look glossy, add the finely chopped onion, sprinkle 2 pinches of salt, and stir-fry until fragrant.
- Add the parboiled and drained potatoes and stir-fry lightly to combine.
- Add 1.5 tbsp sugar from [A] and stir to coat the ingredients.
- Add the remaining 3 tbsp cooking sake (rice wine) from [A], 2 tbsp soy sauce from [A], and 1 tbsp mirin (sweet rice wine) from [A], and cook until the liquid reduces and coats the ingredients.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
- Whisk the 4 large eggs in a bowl.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the cooled frying pan, cook over low heat while stirring until half-cooked, then transfer to a bowl.
- Wash the frying pan thoroughly.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in the clean frying pan over low heat. Spread the oil evenly with a paper towel.
- Return the half-cooked egg mixture to the frying pan and spread it out evenly.
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Once browned on one side, use a plate of similar size to flip the omelet, then return it to the frying pan.
- Cover again and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer to a plate and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve with grated daikon radish (to taste) sprinkled with a pinch of ichimi togarashi. It's ready!
