The 4:2:1 Golden Ratio for Always Delicious Tamagoyaki (Rolled Omelette)
Ingredients:
- 4 Eggs (large)
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Mayonnaise
Directions:
- Break the eggs into a bowl.

- Pour the egg mixture into a frying pan in 5 portions.
- I use chopsticks, but you can use a spatula of course.
- In 5 minutes it's all rolled up.
- Roll up the omelette with each egg mixture addition.
- If you cook it over high heat while slightly lifting the pan above the heat like this, the egg won't burn.
- So light and tender!
- If you were to ask me what I wanted for my last meal when the world was about to end, I'd choose rice, this tamagoyaki, and tofu miso soup!
- I made a version with green onion.
- You can also add some chopped up beni shoga red pickled ginger for color.

Northwest Spinach Salad
Ingredients:
- 4 cups Baby Spinach
- 14 medium fennel bulb, sliced into thin strips
- 12 pear, not too ripe, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
- 14 cup dried tart cherries or 14 cup cranberries
- 1 cup roasted turkey, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 14 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 14 cup smoky-sweet almonds (recipe follows)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper
Directions:
- To make the smoky-sweet almonds, heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high flame, and add 2 t. sugar, 1 t. smoked salt (e.g.
- fume de sel) and 2 T of water.
- To this add a handful of slivered almonds, and toss them around in the pan until the water evaporates and the sugar stars to carmelize, about 2-3 minute When the nuts are carmel-y brown, dump them onto some parchment paper to cool, breaking them up into smaller pieces (they will stick together).
- You can make these ahead and store them in an airtight container until you're ready to use them.
- If you don't feel like dealing with this step, you can just use roasted/salted almonds or whatever kind of nuts you like.
- Combine salad ingredients in large bowl.
- (Hint: if you slice the pears first, you can soak them in some ice water with a little sea salt added to keep them from turning brown while you assemble the rest of the salad.
- Then drain well before adding to the greens.)
- If you plan to make this a little ahead of time to chill in the fridge, leave the cheese, pear, and nuts out until the last minute.
- When ready to serve, whisk the dressing ingredients together in the empty serving bowl, tipping the bowl so the dressing gets up on the sides.
- Add the salad mixture (plus the cheese, pear, and nuts if you prepped the rest ahead of time), and toss lightly.
- Tossing the greens this way will help evenly coat the spinach, and keep it from getting too bruised and wilty.
- Serve with crusty bread.
