Cabbage Omelet for Bentos

I'm crazy for tamagoyaki with mayonnaise. I've also been in love with the combination of gochujang and mayonnaise, and when I made tamagoyaki with them both, it was really delicious. Recipe by Nanaiku

This is how we make tamagoyaki I've gotten used to cooking with shiro-dashi.Make sure not to burn the eggs after you add sugar. Recipe by Donpintan

Ever since I came up with this method, I haven't used a frying pan to make tamagoyaki.I used a 10 cm x 6 cm (height) plate for this. If you use a plate that's too big, the omelette won't be very thick, so I recommend using a bowl shaped one. If the omelette comes out too tough, try adding a little more hot water the next time, or adjusting the microwave cooking time. Recipe by Nyamiane

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

For those people who want egg in their lunch box but don't have time.The egg comes off the plate really easily when folding it, meaning you don't need oil (which means it's healthy!). If it's undercooked when you fold it, reheat it for another 10 seconds in the microwave.If you use a round plate, your cooked egg will naturally become omelette-shaped. Recipe by Karenmamacchi

When I made the usual tamagoyaki into a tube, it made my daughter happy.Not over-cooking the tamagoyaki will make it turn out looking more delicious . The point is to roll it up while it is still hot.Roll it up tightly, and chill well to make it a nice shape. For 2 large eggs' worth. Recipe by Donpintan

I've always made this dish for my own lunches, but I decided to post the recipe here because it consistently turns out so well, even despite the differences in size of the umeboshi ♪I usually use honeyed umeboshi, because I don't like umeboshi that's too sour.Just use any umeboshi that you'd like! Recipe by Nanaiku

I used leftover green beans and imitation crab stick as fillings for a Japanese omelet.It's hard to roll if you put in too much filling.Please adjust the seasoning as you like.I used the frozen green beans without defrosting them. Recipe by Yuukarikoara

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. Recipe by Hiromanma

This is a 1-egg mentaiko tamagoyaki, because making a bigger one with a whole mentaiko in the middle as they do at an izakaya (Japanese gastropub) is a bit too much.I mixed up the mentaiko with shiso leaves.The mentaiko is salty, so the egg is on the sweet side. It's very soft and fluffy due to the mayonnaise.I use a small square tamagoyaki pan to make this, so this amount is enough. Recipe by mama deko

This is a recipe I learned from my mother.-In Step 1, if you're not going to use the microwave to drain the tofu, place a chopping board on it and let sit for 15 minutes (use a heavy chopping board).-Adjust the sugar amounts as desired.-Since it's got a lot of sugar it'll burn easily. Keep a careful eye on it while cooking.-If using salt please add 2/3 teaspoon. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I had umaki (eel omelette) for the first time at a famous eel restaurant, and I was amazed at how delicious it was! So I tried combining eel with an easy recipe I already had for making dashimaki tamago, or omelette with dashi stock. At the restaurant they incorporated chopped-up eel throughout the omelette, but I I just put it in the center.Ideally, you want to use charcoal grilled eel, but you can use cheap vacuum-packed eel from the supermarket or tough leftover eel. If you roll the omelette with chopsticks it falls apart, so use a spatula instead which is much easier. When rolling the omelette in a sushi mat, don't squeeze too hard. If you make a proper dashi stock, the omelette will be really delicious. Recipe by vegeful

Recently, I've noticed people are into making lunchboxes, so I decided to make one for my child. We still eat at home, but I wanted to change up the presentation to make meals more interesting. Did it help with my child's boredom? A little... This recipe doesn't use any additional seasoning, relying solely on the natural flavors of the ingredients.

This is my second attempt at making doll shaped rice balls!! I wonder if I improved a little??You can design the dolls however you like . This time I used boiled octopus-shaped wieners . (It's a little healthier ). I've used them in about 10-15 bentos You can also use black soy beans for the eyes . For about 4 small rice balls. Recipe by Gomamaron

Someone asked me how to make these kinds of flower decorations for bento boxes, so I decided to upload the recipe here.This flower would also look just as pretty if you used ham or egg whites instead.If you cut too far into the omelette the petals may come out too far and be hard to gather up. It's best to put in slightly smaller cuts. Recipe by O-sakaya

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 is a variation of Spanish omelette with lots of vegetables. It's easy to eat and perfect for bento!Please adjust the baking time according to your oven. Please prepare each vegetables ahead of time. Recipe by Ro-zuminto

I want something green in my bento every day, and wanted to use cabbage instead of spinach to make it.The sesame will be nice and aromatic if you toast it in a pan over a medium heat for 30 seconds.Keep an eye on the cabbage in the microwave. If it still looks raw, microwave for another 10-20 seconds. If you use the deep green outer leaves, it might taste bitter. For 2 servings. Recipe by Asachan

I usually make these minced cutlets for dinner, and I decided to figure out a way that I could make these and save them for bento. This is an easy-to-make amount that I came up with.Try enjoying this with Japanese Worcester sauce or with tonkatsu sauce, etc.If you're going to make this for a meal and eat while still hot, I recommend this onion sauce! Recipe by Hokkori-no

The idea for this recipe just came to me.All you need to do is to deep-fry the okra. It's delicious with soy sauce. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I wanted to use up a bit of the huge shipment of Chinese cabbage that I was gifted.At first I was using it in stew, then I made mapo-style Chinese cabbage, and then I decided on something similar to okonomiyaki!It's better to use fresh cabbage in the omelette, rather than stir-frying it beforehand. This will give you a crunchier texture.Originally I thought that it would be better to stir-fry the cabbage first to prevent any excess moisture, but actually it had the opposite effect and I ended up with a messy omelette. Recipe by Shijimi24

It is a good menu for lunch when you want to eat lightThe vegetables have their own sweetness so there is no need to use sugar.I added some carrots this time. Bell pepper goes well too. Recipe by tiatiara

I thought that meat-wrapped eggs might be as good as meat wrapped onigiri, so I gave them a try. They were really good! They were great in a bento! (Only use very fresh eggs.)If you don't flour the eggs twice at Steps 2 and 4, the meat will come off them.I recommend using large pieces of thinly sliced beef such as sukiyaki beef. If you have small pieces, try squeezing them tightly on the eggs as if you are making onigiri (rice balls) to make them stick. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Ponie

I came up with this when thinking of what I could use in a bento.Just boil the okra, let cool, and stuff into chikura. The okra is rather short, so there's not much leftover. If you boil the okra the day before, it's even easier. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

I made this in order to use up leftover chikuwa fish sticks, just using whatever I had on hand, and it was amazingly good.You can really taste the sweetness of the Chinese cabbage and it's well flavored too, so you can spoon it on top of a bowl of rice and serve it as a 'donburi' too!I didn't list it in the ingredients, but I added frozen corn for color.I think the mayonnaise retains its flavor better if you add it after turning the heat off.Just cook the Chinese cabbage until it's totally wilted. There's no need to divide the leafy part and the stem part. For 5 servings. Recipe by Yumisuna77

I think this was introduce in a morning TV show "Bento Club," so I made my own version. The green peppers form the dish, and they will help you feel better when you are overstressed. Eggs, cheese, and bacon are all beneficial to the body, so it is all hunky-dory .These are great for bentos, pretty, and great for you too.The cooking time will vary according to the microwave, but as this is for bento, cook the eggs through properly. Stick a toothpick, and it is OK if it comes out clean!It is colorful and doesn't require a stove, so it is great for busy mornings. If you do steps 1~2 the day before, then it takes even less time. Recipe by Noritama@kusuimun

The nursery school my daughter used to go to used to have bento days even for children younger than 3...I wanted to include her favorite corn kernels, but they're small and difficult to eat, so I folded them into little omelettes!The cheese is salty, so please adjust the seasoning. You can add sugar to make it a little bit sweet. Small children may find this easier to eat if you cut it up into 3 to 4 pieces. When holding the wrapped omelette, please be careful not to burn yourself! Recipe by Yomehunch

For my daughter's first field trip! I used salami sausage and the pink came out very nicely.Make sure to stir the omelets while cooking and try to achieve some thickness. Recipe by Tomumaro

I made these colorful tamagoyaki to pack in bentos.I used raw green pepper, but if your children don't like them, you could boil them briefly. That will reduce the smell, encouraging your kids to eat them.I think the cross-section will look prettier if you only beat the eggs lightly. Recipe by Kimiko

I thought maybe I could combine all the items that I eat for breakfast everyday, so I mixed eggs, natto, and cabbage to prepare this dish, and it turned out great.This omelet can be difficult to flip over, but do it boldly and it should go well!You may think that the taste is a bit on the lighter side, but the natto and the okonomiyaki sauce will do the job!
