I used to eat this dish at the canteen at work very often. I fancied cooking it for myself This tofu omelette is usually cooked in an oven, but I used only an omelette frying pan.

Leave it to cool before portioning it out, if it gets a bit difficult while still hot. Use any ingredients you like such as hijiki, wooden ear mushrooms or green beans You can use mentsuyu instead of dashi soy sauce! Mentsuyu will add some sweetness to the dish. Recipe by RED_SPIC
