Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
Method
- Beat the eggs gently with the sugar, soy sauce, mirin and salt until smooth, without making them foamy.
- Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan or small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and wipe it with an oiled paper towel.
- Pour in a thin layer of egg, and when it is nearly set, roll it from the far side toward you.
- Push the roll back to the far side, oil the pan again and pour in another thin layer, lifting the roll so egg runs underneath.
- Roll again and repeat until the egg is used up.
- Wrap the omelet in a bamboo mat or plastic wrap for 2 minutes to set its shape, then slice.
Notes
A round skillet works; trim the rounded ends after rolling and snack on them.
