I'm Japanese. I don't understand English. This is an automatic translation. I'm Sorry. I have some advice for making egg rolls in a round frying pan. When you put the eggs in the pan, fold the left and right ends first. This way, you can roll it up into a nice shape. If air bubbles form in the egg, use chopsticks to poke a hole in it and squash the bulge. There will be no gaps when you roll the egg. Originally, different families seasoned their egg rolls differently. This arrangement is wonderful. I look forward to seeing more videos in the future.

The translation works out fine. That makes sense, to fold the egg into a square before folding.

The idea is to basically make one long omelette which is constantly folded onto itself if that makes sense. You shouldn’t really see the layers tbh. I’ve made it with a round pan before and you can just use a spatula to push the sides in slightly before it sets so it’s more square. I’ve also seen sushi masters add a little water to help thin the mixture. A much lower heat is also used and the egg is slightly runny still when turning, the residual heat continues the cooking process and will make the end product a softer texture.

It all looks VERY delicious! Thank you! Mirin substitute tips: Nr1: Keep a bottle of cheap Chinese rice wine for cooking sake. When you need some mirin, bring a cup of the Chinese rice wine to a boil, stir in a level tablespoon of sugar and remove from the heat. It's pretty good. Nr2: bring a cup of cheap German sweet white wine, for example Liebfraumilch, to a boil and remove from heat - no sugar needed. Of course the German wine is from grapes, but it still will do in a pinch. In both cases bringing the wine to a boil reduces the alcohol content to about half, aroun 6 or 7 percent which is what mirin's alcohol content is. These substitutions have been rigorously tested in the expatriate Japanese community here in Berlin, Germany. All agree the substitutions work and are dramtically less expensive than imported mirin. Regarding the soy sauce, I've heard lots of good things about what's being brewed in Kentucky. Look forward to trying it someday. If you haven't already done so, please consider trying REAL Japanese soy sauce being brewed illegally (but very authentically) on the small island of Sodoshima in Japan. Check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7pmgKeLtrurpGg.html (Yamaroku soy sauce brewed on Shodoshima is available on Amazon USA) iitadakimasu!!

@@its_clean Yamaroku has four primary soy sauce products: Tsurubishio Soy Sauce (つるびしお) - the bottle with the two birds on the label. Tsurubishio soy sauce is the primary product from Yamaroku. It is a perfect all round soy sauce, made from soy beans, wheat, salt, and water. Kikubishio Soy Sauce (菊醤). If the romanized name "Kikubishio" does not appear in the ad, or you want to confirm you have the correct product, please look for the two kanji characters written large on the label stacked on top of each other. Compare carefully as the kanji on the labels tends to be very stylized and not instantly recognizable compared to the "correct" way to write them. Kikubishio soy sauce is a "koikuchi" style soy sauce and is the type of soy sauce most commonly known outside of Japan. It is perfect for cooking as well as for dips and marinades. It is made from black soy beans, wheat, salt, and water. Kikutsuyu Soy Sauce (菊つゆ), is a combination of the Kikubishio soy sauce mixed with sugar, mirin, and infused with flavor from flaked bonito tuna fish and kombu kelp. Ponzu Soy Sauce (ぽん酢), is made from mixing Tsurubishio soy sauce, citrus fruit juice, kombu kelp and sugar. I recommend the tsurubishio and kikubsihio soy sauces as they are pure, unadulterated traditional soy sauces. I lean towards the kikubishio, but both are pretty much interchangeable. You might consider giving both a try. The kikutsuyu is an interesting hybrid that you could make on your own. I would not recommend it for general use where you're expecting a pure soy sauce flavor. Ponzu is VERY easily made at home with lemons, bonito flakes, and kombu kelp, all available at any Asian market. You basically combine all of the ingredients proportionally, leave it in the fridge overnight, remove the kombu and strain out the bonito flakes and you have Ponzu! Light and very refreshing as a dip during the hot summer months! Like fresh baked goods, ponzu is best when you make it yourself. Recipes abound across the internet. In the video Chef Nyesha uses "matsutake" soy sauce. This is koikuchi style soy sauce mixed with flavor extracts from the matsutake mushroom. In Japan most people prefer to enjoy the delicious matsutake mushrooms themselves as an ingredient and pure soy sauce as called for in a recipe. Matsutake mushrooms are extremely rare as they grow hidden at the base of trees in the forest. The price swings wildly from over US$1,000 per pound for premium grade at harvest time all the way down to US$4 or 5 bucks a pound for low grade at the end of the season. I hope this information will help.

@@recoil53 Even doing improv, she could have still used good technique. You can use a round pan.You can improvise. But she did not have to swirl the egg that much, nor do you put the cooked egg in the middle, then pour raw egg on the wrong side of the flipping direction, then swirl some more. It's like saying you improvised a roll cake but did layers instead.

As a Japanese person, I'm cringing with some of the techniques used. 😬 Don't swirl the egg in the pan. Always roll in the same direction, or: roll away from you, pull cooked egg back, add raw egg on far side, roll away. Fair attempt for an experiment, but technique needs some work. That being said, good first attempt! 👍🏼

@@heywoodjablomi1109 thank you for the clarification. I'd venture to say in choosing your given name your parents' may not have taken into consideration how that might play out for you in Junior high school. I hope your life was not too difficult during those years. I certainly meant no offense to you or your heritage when stating my observation. I apologize for any misunderstanding. On the subject of "cultural appropriation", were you being serious? If so, please explain the chef's transgressions and what you feel would be the correct behavior. Should people experiment with recipes from other cultures? Should people of one culture eat food prepared in the traditions of another? What would be the best solution? Historically it is confirmed that Marco Polo brought the noodle back to Italy from China, and just under two hundred years ago the tomato was brought from the Caribbean to Italy. In consideration of Italian cuisine whole heartedly hijacking noodles and tomatoes into its culinary heritage, and the obvious "culture appropriation" that represents, what would you suggest would be the best way for Italy to make things right again? Should Italy apologize to China and give up noodles? And tomatoes...the whole world has pretty much taken advantage of Caribbean culinary culture on that one. How should Italy in particular address that issue?
