Introduction
This is a voluminous Tonpeiyaki that is easy to make just by using a rectangular omelet pan to fold the ingredients. By adding water and mayonnaise to the egg mixture, it retains a fluffy and soft texture even when cold, making it perfect for bento boxes or as a snack.
Step 1
Remove the core of the cabbage and shred it; place in a bowl and toss well with the dashi powder (1 teaspoon).
Step 2
Cut the sliced cheese in half and lightly season the pork belly slices with salt and pepper.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise (1/2 tablespoon) with the water (1 tablespoon) little by little until smooth, then crack in the eggs (3) and whisk.
Step 4
Grease the tamagoyaki pan with salad oil, heat over medium heat for about 30 seconds, and stir-fry the pork while breaking it apart.
Step 5
When the pork is 80-90% cooked, add the cabbage and stir-fry over medium heat for about 1 minute until wilted.

Important Notes
💡 By adding water and mayonnaise to the egg mixture, the proteins won't firm up too much when heated, maintaining a fluffy and soft texture even after cooling.
⚠️ Since mayonnaise and water can easily clump if combined all at once, whisk the mayonnaise with a small amount of water first until smooth before adding the rest.
🍳 If you feel like you need more time while adding ingredients or rolling, turn down the heat or turn it off completely to prevent burning.
⚠️ The dish will be very hot and fragile right after cooking; let it cool slightly before slicing so you can cut it cleanly.
