Japanese food challenge day 1: TAMAGOYAKI!

I am going to do a little theme-posts event, where I'll make japanese food by watching my very favorite cooking show; "cooking with dog". I'll do this because I simply love asian food and because it's so much fun to make a little different food that what's "normal" in my country. Since I'm foreign, and lots of the ingredients are difficult to get, i'll add some changes throughout the recipe. Maybe some will say that it's not the same without the right ingredients but what can I do?  

So what i'll do if mark each post with "Food challenge day #", but of course I don't have time to blog every day so this will only work as a reminder on how many recipes I have gone through. I will add the original video on every post and add my own picture at the end, where I'll list of the ingredients. Hope you all will like it

So here it goes:

This is a very easy recipe for japanese omelette, and it's so much fun to make it. I used a big pan circle-formed pan to make this and it worked out pretty well, but the shape isn't that pretty compared to a square-formed pan.

First I'll just add the ingredients listed in the youtube-video:

Ingredients for Tamagoyaki (serves 2)
3 Eggs
3 tbsp Dashi Stock
(3 tbsp water+a pinch of dashi stock powder)
1⅓ tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Soy Sauce
2 pinches of Salt
20g Mitsuba Parsley Leaves (0.7 oz)
or substitute: spring onion, coriander, mentaiko (marinated roe of pollock) or aonori seaweed
Daikon Radish, Grated
1 Shiso Leaf
A splash of Soy Sauce
Olive Oil or your favorite vegetable oil
Tamagoyaki Pan (15x16.5cm/6x6.5 in)

Since my pan was a little bigger than the chefs pan I used 4 eggs instead of 3. The Dashi-stock is something that's quite hard to find here, so i just removed it and placed it with some sesame-oil (Because I really like the taste). I use a soy sause with less salt in too, because it can quickly get too salty. 

The filling ended up being dried chives, but as she mentioned you can use whatever greenstuff you want. In another video she used spinach. 

I didn't really care for the garnish so I just cut out the rest.

This is how my dish looked when it was done: 

As you can see, since I used a circle-pan the front piece didn't look so good. 

Well that's the first one. Hopefully I won't forget to add more dishes :) 

Stay tuned!
