Cooking Oil

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs and add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of mirin, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture until well combined and frothy.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Allow the oil to heat up until shimmering.

  2. 3

    Cook the Tamago

    Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set. Using a spatula, carefully roll the egg towards the center of the pan.

  3. 4

    Layer the Egg

    Add another small amount of the egg mixture to the pan, allowing it to flow underneath the rolled omelet. Cook until the new layer sets, then roll the previous layer over it. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used.

  4. 5

    Finish Cooking

    Once the omelet is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
