Tamagoyaki with Rice & Sesame Spinach

A Japanese breakfast plate of sweet-savoury rolled omelette, steamed rice, and sesame-dressed spinach — light, tidy, and deeply satisfying. Carb-led with respectable protein, it works best as everyday maintenance fuel or a pre-training breakfast rather than a low-carb option.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 3/4 cup steamed short-grain rice
• 100g spinach, blanched
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

1. Whisk the eggs with soy sauce and sugar.
2. Cook thin layers in a pan, rolling each into a log to build the tamagoyaki.
3. Slice the roll into thick pieces.
4. Dress the blanched spinach with sesame oil and seeds.
5. Serve alongside the steamed rice.
