Rika's TOKYO CUISINE: Tamagoyaki Sandwich

In this episode, we'll be making tamagoyaki sandwiches, a dish that has seen rising popularity of late. The standard Japanese egg sandwich is generally thought of as being made with chopped egg and mayonnaise, but in the Kansai region of western Japan, sandwiches made with omelets are common as well. Recently, this type of egg sandwich is becoming a popular trend in Tokyo, and Rika will make her own tamagoyaki sandwich with a thick omelet for a filling meal. For her sides, she'll be making fried chicken wing kara-age that uses nam pla sauce for a finishing touch, and a simple yet nutritious carrot soup.
