I wanted to make a tamagoyaki for bento that would be delicious and springy even cold. I wanted it to be bouncy, so I based my method on chawanmushi (steamed savory custard) instructions.Straining the egg mixture will produce a smooth texture. Adjust the heat by removing the frying pan from the heat while cooking. It is difficult to roll the egg when it is soft set, but this will prevent any brown layers from appearing when the egg has been wrapped up. Addendum: adjust the amount of seasoning when using large-sized eggs. Recipe by Momonoyasashiikaori

I wanted to make a colouful and beautiful tamagoyaki.Finely chop the vegetables. This way, it makes the cross section of the sliced tamagoyaki looks beautiful.It is difficult to cook the inside of tamagoyaki with lots of fillings. Make sure to cook the egg thoroughly if you put it in a lunch box in summer.Cook over low heat patiently towards the end. Recipe by Donpintan

I wanted to eliminate the step of adding seasonings when making tamagoyaki for bento in the morning, and also try them without Japanese noodle dipping sauce.Just 1 teaspoon of ponzu give enough flavor. Adjust the amount to taste.I also recommend adding scallions to the egg mixture. For 1 serving. Recipe by Mikanshufu

Here's a fried egg recipe that's good for filling up space in a big bento box. For serving 1-2 (as bento fillers). Recipe by Ruri Ruri

I wanted to change up the same old tamagoyaki that I make.The key is to not overcook the usuyaki tamago.Since the usuyaki tamago is folded in half, it has some thickness even if you're just one egg. For 2 spirals. Recipe by ss mama

I've known about this method of forming tamagoyaki with bamboo skewers for some time, but I thought up this way of lining up the skewers on the plastic wrap first, so I made it into a recipe. It takes a little effort, but the results are really cute. Even if the flowers turn out a bit crooked, that's the charm of homemade.When making the base tamagoyaki, try rolling it so that it is triangular or round or square in shape rather than long and thin. It's easier to space the bamboo skewers evenly I think. If you want to make the petals on the flower very distinct, press the skewers into the center firmly on your work surface before leaving it to cool! The center is the furthest away from the rubber bands after all! Recipe by akemi3 mama

This is my usual bento omelette. I always just estimate the ingredient amounts, but this time I measured them. This makes it easier to teach the recipe to family members.It contains sugar so it will burn if you turn the heat too high. Start on medium heat, warm the frying pan, coat with oil and warm, then pour in the mixture. Cook over fairly low to low heat. Finally, turn the heat up to medium to cook through.

One of the staple items for a bento is tamagoyaki. I try out different variations so that my family doesn't get tired of them.Cut the hanpen small, otherwise it'll be hard to roll up. You can use either vegetable oil or sesame oil for a nutty flavor. Recipe by Asamato

This dish was on an izakaya menu.I was a bit reluctant to try this but it turned out to be extremely delicious!I tried making many different variations with different seasonings but eventually it was best as is without anything extra so I uploaded it!Be absolutely sure to remove the membranes from the tarako!Don't overcook because they are best moist! Be generous with the tarako.The tarako has a naturally salty flavor so there's no need to season it, but you can add a little mayonnaise to the egg mixture and it will be delicious when cooked.

I rewrote the recipe from "Asami's Bento" past February 2008 post.http://ameblo.jp/asami-obento/Try giving them a scepter and a formal folding fan if you have leftover bits. Recipe by asamimaeda

This is an original recipe that I use for my kid's bento boxes. If you don't have any sliced cheese, then feel free to use the white part of the imitation crab stick. Just use whatever you have.Tips:-Adjust the amount of rice used to how much your child will eat in the bento.-If the nori seaweed or cheese looks like it's going to come off, fix it in place with a dab of mayonnaise or honey.-If you put the onigiri rice ball in a bento cup or small muffin cup after completing Step 1, it will be easier to transfer into the bento box.
