Microwave Silky Tofu Dashimaki-Style Tamagoyaki

Side · Washoku17 min(Prep 10 min + Cook 7 min) · 150 kcal per serving · 2 servings · Easy

A Japanese rolled omelette made without a tamagoyaki pan, using a microwave-safe cooking bag set inside a heatproof container. Mixing in mashed tofu slows the sharp rise in the egg's temperature, so it retains moisture even after heating and turns out silky and juicy, with dashi spilling out the moment you cut into it. There is little to wash up and it is hard to fail, so it is also recommended for anyone who finds tamagoyaki intimidating.
