    Second try at Japanese omelet: omujaga-imo?

    Jaga-imo is potato. I had to look that up. Anyhow, I’m not making rice all the time, or really even very often. But potatoes are always around. And there’s nothing to keep anyone from using that spit-open technique on hash browns, right?

    Like before, things happen really quickly doing these. I decided to work on the release and flip this time. The release worked out well, the flip was good enough to get covered up by the final presentation.


    A bed of hash browns with peppers and onions.

    The release. I’m trying to make this an American diner thing with the Japanese presentation, so I added cheese. The eggs are still “Japanese runny” in the middle, it’s hard to see, but there’s a little bit of drip on the towel that I cropped most of it out.

    The flip. I didn’t get a good seal, but that’s okay, I wanted to cook the eggs a little longer and melt in the cheese anyhow.

    And that gets blown up by the presentation anyhow. Who cares what it looks like in the pan if it comes to the table looking like this?

      Tom, I think I am going to nickname you the Omelet Man or maybe the Taco Man. Do you have a preference? LOL Or maybe the Breakfast Man.

        Ha! My preference is to be in the background and every now and then someone says, “Oh yeah, that guy. He makes good food… I think, anyhow. The pictures look good.”

      It was excellent.

      Regarding that, these are problematic for someone as relentlessly basic as I am; my nature is to slap stuff on the plate and serve it. It’s going to taste like a cheese omelet with hash browns on the side, taking a forkful of each with every bite, no matter how much foofalah is involved in the prep.

      The fun is in mastering the technique… learning how to master the technique. Because if I go into a different kitchen, the stove, the pots and pans, the eggs, everything will be a little different. By learning these, I learn how things should act. That skill can be transposed horizontally, because the skill of watching, listening, paying attention, and confidence can be applied to other foods. And it can also be transposed horizontally, by taking those ingredients and using them in other dishes, or cooking them in other situations and on other devices.

        SheilaAnn Thanks!

        I don’t want a Japanese omelet; I want to know how they’re made, and how to make one. The knowing and doing is the thing.

      That presentation is really, really cool! I've never seen an egg looking like that! Nailed it!

        Do we have any pics of what you are striving to achieve Tom? It looks great but never heard of any of these.
