Salmon teriyaki & Japanese omelette (dashimaki-tamago) / 鮭の照り焼きとだし巻きたまご

Today's dinner is the traditional Japanese :)
It is very common in Japan to have several kinds of dishes at dinner.
The portion of each dish is small so that everything can fit in the stomach.
Today, I made following dishes.

- Salmon teriyaki
- Dashimaki-tamago (Japanese omelette)
- Crumble silken tofu with beans
- Miso soup with carrot and radish
- Rice

This traditional meal style is called "ichi-ju san-sai （一汁三菜）" and it means "one soup and three side dishes".
Many people in Japan put high importance to take various nutrition from various ingredients because it is healthy.
Thus, the traditional Japanese meal is ideal for them but at the same time, it requires a lot of time and effort to make many dishes at the same time.
I spent about 1 h to cook all dishes today. It depends on person whether 1 h is long or short ;)
As cooking is for me a relaxing time that can clearly separate work and private life, I personally love to stand in the kitchen and it usually does not bother to spend quite a lot of time there :)

I would like to introduce you the recipe of dashimaki-tamago because it is really delicious.

For 2 persons

Ingredients: 

- 3 eggs
- 3 large spoon of water
- 1 large spoon of soy source
- 1 to 1.5 large spoon of sugar (please adjust as you like)
- Some oil

Procedure:

1. Break the eggs into a bowl. Add water and all seasonings and mix them lightly so that the eggs can intake some air.

2. Heat the pan, put some oil, and put 1 and cover the pan at a low to medium heat until the surface of the eggs becomes gently solid. 

3. Cut and serve. You can add some grating radishes (better to use the Japanese radish "daikon") to add some freshness.


Tell me how you like it if you try it ;)
