Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions 

  1. 1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, mirin, soy sauce, and salt until well combined.
  2. 2. Heat a tamagoyaki pan over medium heat and lightly oil it with vegetable oil.
  3. 3. Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting to cover the bottom. Cook until the egg is set but still slightly soft on top.
  4. 4. Roll the egg layer from one end to the other using chopsticks or a spatula. Move the rolled egg to one side of the pan.
  5. 5. Add more oil if needed, then pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the pan, lifting the rolled egg to let the mixture flow underneath. Cook until set, then roll the new layer around the previous roll.
  6. 6. Repeat the process until all the egg mixture is used up. Remove the rolled omelette from the pan and let it cool slightly before slicing.
