Eggs for Breakfast (or brunch, or dinner)

Eggs for breakfast seems like a pretty normal concept to most Americans; in fact, many cultures around the globe begin their day with the incredible edible. For this reason, tamagoyaki is a pretty good starter food for anyone who wants to expand his or her palate to include Japanese cuisine. Basically, it's an omelet with a twist. We begin with the below ingredients:

2 eggs 

1 tbsp hondashi

2tsp mirin

2 tbsp sugar

1-2tbsp Canola oil 

Stir eggs with teaspoon to guarantee uniformity. Add mirin, hondashi, and sugar.

Coat pan with canola oil and pour eggs.Bake until the bottom becomes firm, then with a spatula fold in the sides and flip. bake until slightly brown on the outside. 

 

Final result:

Japanese people typically eat it along side a bowl of miso soup in the morning or with a lunch or dinner of soba noodles, but feel free to enjoy with some buttered toast and even a couple strips of bacon.
