A classic breakfast menu, an omelet. You can arrange it with various ingredients such as onions, bacon, and cheese, so many people often make it.


When I put an unexpected "certain ingredient" in such an omelet, I discovered that it was delicious. That is "fried ball". Named "tanuki omelet" because it contains fried balls.

The fluffy omelet is combined with a crispy texture and a juicy oily taste, making it an irresistible taste for fried food lovers. I would like to introduce a raccoon dog omelet that is easy to try and how to make it.

How to make a raccoon dog omelet
◆ Materials

The basic ingredients (for 2 people) are as follows.

Eggs ………… 2 fried balls ………… Japanese style as much as you like ………… 0.5 teaspoon salt ………… Sesame oil or salad oil ………… Appropriate amount (for frying pan)


In addition, it is also good to add seaweed, stir-fried green onions, tuna, mayonnaise, etc. as arrangement materials.



◆ Points to be particular about

The point is fried balls. The best fried foods are those sold at supermarket fried food corners and soba restaurants. It's surprisingly hard to get, but I want you to stick to it! I also tried putting it in a commercially available bag, but I don't like the crispness when it's finished because it's easy to absorb moisture. The fluffy fried balls are delicious because of that ...



◆ Procedure to make

First, insert the egg into a bowl and melt it with chopsticks. If you want to add milk to your omelet, here (you don't have to).


When the whites and yolks are roughly mixed, add the dashi stock, salt, fried balls, and other ingredients, if any, and mix further. This time, add seaweed and stir-fried green onions. The order in which the ingredients are mixed does not matter, but when using commercially available fried balls, it seems that the crispy feeling is less likely to be lost if the fried balls are last.



Heat an appropriate amount of oil in a frying pan and pour the mixed ingredients.


After that, I will finish it as an omelet with a sense. If it doesn't fit well, let's call it scrambled eggs.



While it's half-boiled, pull it up on a plate.



The contrast between the juicy, semi-ripe omelet and the crispy fried balls is vivid. Because it uses Japanese-style dashi, it has a taste similar to that of a slightly dashi-rolled egg. The fried balls add volume, so it's perfect for the morning when you want to recharge your energy. You may put it on rice and sprinkle it with soy sauce.

If you see fresh fried balls at supermarkets or soba restaurants, please get them and make them!
