Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and salt. Whisk the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the oil and spread it evenly across the surface of the pan.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the First Layer

    Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the skillet, just enough to cover the bottom layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.

  2. 4

    Roll the Omelette

    Using a spatula, gently roll the cooked egg layer towards the center of the pan. Leave a little space at the end.

  3. 5

    Add More Egg Mixture

    Pour another thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, lifting the rolled omelette to allow the liquid to flow underneath.

  4. 6

    Repeat Cooking

    Cook until the new layer sets, then roll the omelette again. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Shape the Tamago

    Once all layers are cooked and rolled, gently press the tamago with a sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel to shape it.

  2. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Let the tamago cool slightly, then slice it into bite-sized pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
