Nippon Egg Roll With Spring Onions & Baby Shrimp is a simple yet flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as a healthy breakfast or a quick snack. This dish is a twist on the traditional Japanese tamagoyaki, or rolled omelet, which is a common breakfast item in Japan. The addition of spring onions and baby shrimp provides added flavor and texture to the dish, and the use of dashi gives it a touch of umami, or savory taste. This dish can be customized with different fillings, such as cooked vegetables or leftover small grains. Serve it with a side salad or steamed greens for a complete meal.

Instructions

1.In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, salt, water, and dashi.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk 2 eggs with 2 teaspoons of the dashi mixture. Set aside.
3.Heat 1 teaspoon of margarine or butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/3 of the chopped spring onions and cook for 1-2 minutes.
4.Add 1/3 of the mashed baby shrimp to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
5.Pour 1/3 of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom is set.
6.Carefully roll up the egg from one side to the other, creating a long roll. Slide the roll to one side of the pan.
7.Repeat steps 3-6 two more times with the remaining ingredients. Let the egg rolls cool for a few minutes, then cut into small rounds before serving.
