How to Make Sushi: Rolled Egg


Ingredients:
3 eggs
One level teaspoon of salt
One heaped teaspoon of sugar
3 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 teaspoon of soy-sauce

Crack all the eggs into a bowl, then add the soy sauce, salt and sugar. Using a pair of chopsticks “cut” through the mixture back and forth to mix evenly.

Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan.

Spread an extremely thin layer of oil onto the frying pan. To do this, soak a kitchen tissue with oil, then spread onto the pan. A thin layer of around 1-2mm of oil is ideal. Heat the oil over a medium fire.

Now, Starting from one end of the pan, pour the egg mixture to form a thin layer. Tilt the pan 45 degrees to allow the egg mixture to spread thinly over the whole pan surface. Allow the egg to cook.

When the outsides of the egg starts to harden but the insides are still runny, roll the egg from one end to the other.

Put the rolled egg to one side, and pour the egg mixture onto the opposite side, again spreading the mixture thinly by tilting the pan.

Repeat until the egg mixture is finished.

Put the rolled egg aside to cool.
