Basic Sweet Rolled Omelet for Lunchboxes
Even though it is so easy to make, I never get tired of these basic rolled omelets.
The secret to a tall and well formed rolled omelet is to scramble the eggs for the first and second layers.
Granulated sugar produces an elegant flavour that is not too cloying!
Sweet omelets scorch easily, so make sure to oil the pan before adding in each layer of egg. Also be careful of how much heat you are using, and adjust it as necessary. Recipe by Taamu mama

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and scramble. I dislike the egg's membrane lining, so I remove it.
- 2
Add in the granulated sugar and salt. Beat thoroughly. Be careful to adjust the amount if you use caster sugar as it is sweeter than granulated.
- 3
Add the milk. The milk will keep the finished omelet from drying out, so you will have a nice moist rolled omelet.
- 4
Pour oil into a pan, and wipe the excess with a paper towel, leaving a thin film of oil.
- 5
Heat the pan over medium heat, add in a thin layer of egg, let it heat for a moment, and scramble it lightly with your cooking chopsticks.
- 6
Do not roll the first layer. Instead pull it to the front of the pan in a lumpy scrambled mass when it is half cooked.
- 7
Follow the same routine with the second layer of egg. Make sure to grease the pan with a some oil between layers.
- 8
Starting with the third layer, we will make a pretty rolled omelet. Add in a thin layer of beaten egg, and roll the scrambled mixture carefully in the single sheet of cooked egg that forms. I roll from front to back, but you can roll back to front if you want.
- 9
We will add the finishing touches in the fourth layer. This layer is made the same way as the third, but turn the heat down to low heat so that the egg doesn't scorch. This will give you an attractive finished roll.
- 10
All done! You can enjoy this yummy rolled omelet piping hot, or chilled.
- 11
Adding milk makes the omelet nice and sweet. You can substitute water instead for a soft set but less rich omelet.

At our house, I put this in my kindergardener son's lunchbox every day.

Sweet & Thick Tamagoyaki (Rolled Omelette) Sweet & Thick Tamagoyaki (Rolled Omelette)
I adapted my mother's recipe to use shiro-dashi soy sauce. You can optionally add a little bit of regular soy sauce to taste.Cook the omelette over medium to low heat. There are two methods of starting a rolled omelette: the first is to have it gathered on one side from the start, while the other is to push the first batch of cooked egg to the edge of the pan. If you want the cross-sections to look pretty, have it rolled it up from the start.Adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -

Honey Datemaki Rolled Omelet for Osechi Honey Datemaki Rolled Omelet for Osechi
I don't like store-bought datemaki. I adjusted the ingredients little by little to get to this recipe.You can make this using 20cm square molds that are commonly available in shops, but since the dimensions are quite small, the rolls become thick. So it will probably be difficult to roll up until you get used to doing so.Line the mold with parchment paper! Recipe by Run -

Quick, Healthy Rolled Omelet Quick, Healthy Rolled Omelet
It's a quick solution to lunch, dinner or as a side dish. The rolling takes some getting used to but it is easy if you use a good non-stick pan. The inside is a little on the soft side while the outside is cooked through. You can actually utilize whatever vegetable you have left in the fridge. For me, I had carrots and that was it. Try not to put too much in it, though; makes turning/rolling a REAL CHALLENGE. Apart from that, butter up and roll!

The Basic Omelet The Basic Omelet
I love eggs. But I’m really weird about them. I don’t like them browned at all. Makes them smell like burnt hair. This one actually has a hint of brown on it🤢😂 If I see someone scrambling eggs, and it’s stuck to the sides, I want to run gagging and screaming. What a stinking waste…literally. So my suggestion is LOWER HEAT. Less is more in the egg realm. Weirdly, I only like American cheese in my omelette or scrambled eggs. I’m not very cultured😂😂🩷 this is nothing really but to know how to make a good egg is priceless.
