In this video, I share my grandmother’s Japanese scrambled egg method for creating big, soft, glossy folds without the watery puddle or rubbery texture. I explain why scrambled eggs release water, how dashi and simple seasonings help keep them tender, and why I beat and strain the mixture before cooking. I also show how I choose fresher eggs, prepare the pan with oil instead of butter, cook in two stages, and finish with residual heat.
