Ingredients

  • 200 mL vegan liquid egg mixture I used JustEgg
  • 1/2 tbsp vegan fish sauce you can substitute soy sauce or tamari for GF
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1-2 scallions finely diced
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Oil for the pan

Instructions

  • Heat up a tamagoyaki pan (or a regular non-stick fry pan) over medium heat and add a bit of oil to the pan. Use a paper towel to blot any excess oil if needed.
  • In a measuring cup with a spout, combine the vegan liquid egg mixture, vegan fish sauce, sugar, diced scallions, and black pepper and mix well.
  • Pour a thin layer onto the pan and allow to cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom sets and the top is nearly set. Start to roll the omelette onto itself to create a log. Cook to seal the log and then push to one side of the pan (I always push it to the side opposite the handle).
  • Pour another thin layer onto the pan and lift up the log to get a bit of the mixture underneath to stick to the log. Allow cook until nearly set, then roll and build up the log.
  • Repeat with pushing the cooked rolled log to one side, adding a thin layer to the pan, until the rest of the mixture is used up!
  • Cook each side until the sides are browned, then remove from the pan. You can roll in a sushi mat to get the shape set to cool slightly, but I often just slap it on the cutting board and slice.
  • Eat immediately with steamed rice, with some stir fried greens or steamed veggies!
