My first tamagoyaki

I followed Maki's instructions on justhungry.com, and I think I had fair results. I sent the photos off to my soon to be niece in Tokyo (she is marrying my nephew) and I am sure the two of them will have a laugh at my first try. It's not perfect, but I am content. I tried a new cooking technique and at least did not end up with scrambled eggs!

First 2 tbsp of egg mixture in the pan...


Rolled over and next layer of eggs....


the final result, looks like a burrito if you ask me! If I had a bamboo mat I could shape it better, but saran wrap worked for me.



The final result in my bento....

My nephew (B), who is stationed in Japan, sent me bento boxes! I had told him (and his Japanese fiance) that I was trying to learn more about bento and they sent us these boxes, and assorted other items that will be helpful. Then they sent photos of the lunches his fiance (M), makes for him. I could learn so much from M! I hope someday they will come to Texas and I can have a lesson, in person.

Well, here is my latest bento:

 
 

I think M's bento is ever so much more appetizing. My nephew is a lucky man.
