Directions

  1. Wet a frozen egg under running water.
  2. Peel the shell off the frozen egg.
  3. Carefully cut the frozen egg in half.
  4. Place the two halves in a small pan.
  5. Cook until the egg whites are set and yolks are slightly runny, creating mini fried eggs.
  6. Cover a heat-resistant plate with plastic wrap.
  7. Crack one egg onto the plastic wrap.
  8. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar to the egg.
  9. Mix the egg, salt, and sugar on the plastic wrap.
  10. Microwave at 600W for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
  11. Remove from microwave and cut the cooked egg into thin strips.
  12. Crack one egg into a mug cup.
  13. Poke 3 holes in the egg yolk using a toothpick.
  14. Add 4 tablespoons of water to the mug cup.
  15. Microwave for 50 seconds.
  16. Drain the hot water from the mug cup.
  17. Serve the soft-boiled egg.
  18. Place 5 eggs into a rice cooker pot.
  19. Pour hot water over the eggs until they are completely submerged.
  20. Close the rice cooker lid and set it to "keep warm" for 17 minutes.
  21. Remove the eggs and serve the soft-boiled eggs.
  22. If eggshell pieces fall into a cracked egg, wet a chopstick.
  23. Use the wet chopstick to easily pick up the eggshell pieces.
  24. Pour beaten eggs (approximately 3-4 eggs worth) into a measuring cup.
  25. Add a splash of carbonated water to the beaten eggs.
  26. Pour a portion of the egg mixture into a heated rectangular omelet pan.
  27. Cook and roll the omelet as usual.
  28. Place 5 eggs in a pan with just enough water to cover the bottom.
  29. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
  30. Turn on the heat and cook for 4 minutes.
  31. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the covered pan for 3 minutes.
  32. Transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool.
  33. Peel the shells from the cooled eggs.
  34. Place a handful of salted kombu in a container.
  35. Carefully place 3 egg yolks on top of the kombu.
  36. Cover the egg yolks with another handful of salted kombu.
  37. Drizzle soy sauce over the kombu and egg yolks.
  38. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  39. Serve the marinated egg yolks with rice.

Tips

  • When peeling frozen eggs, wetting them with water makes the shell easier to remove.
  • To easily remove eggshell pieces from a cracked egg, use a wet chopstick.
  • Adding carbonated water to eggs for Dashimaki Tamago makes them fluffy.
  • Boiling eggs with minimal water in a covered pan can save gas.
  • Storing eggs at the bottom of the refrigerator can prevent them from cracking due to the weight of items placed on top.
