Ingredients
Egg Roll with Roasted Seaweeds
- 3-4 pieces large eggs
Salt to taste - 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon brewed soy sauce
enough roasted seaweed (nori or gim)
enough oil for greasing - 1-2 pieces prepared Spam musubi
- 1 cup prepared cooked seasoned Japanese rice
fresh vegetables of your choice, enough to fill 2 bento boxes
fresh fruits of your choice, enough to fill in 2 bento boxes
Instructions
- Bring together in a bowl the eggs, salt, sugar, and soy sauce, and mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Heat and grease a nonstick pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, pour 1/4 of the beaten egg mixture and tilt the pan from side to side until the bottom of the pan is covered with eggs.
- Cook until the bottom is set and the top is moist; place on top of the sheet of roasted seaweeds.
- Start rolling up one edge of the egg, flipping it over about 2 inches, and continue folding it over until you reach the end. Push the rolled egg to the edge of the skillet.
- Pour the rest of the whisked egg into the pan. Tip the skillet to form a thin egg layer that completely covers the bottom.
- When the bottom is set and the top is still moist, lay the second piece of roasted seaweed on the egg.
- Roll up the egg omelet again, starting at the end with the cooked egg omelet, until you reach the end of the pan.
- Transfer the egg to a cutting board and slice it up.
- Place sliced egg rolls in a bento box, and arrange additional foods like seasoned cooked Japanese rice and fresh fruits and veggies of your choice.
