Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Beat the Eggs

    In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and salt. Whisk the mixture until well combined and frothy. This will be your egg mixture for the Tamago.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pan

    Heat a non-stick rectangular or square pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and spread it evenly across the surface with a spatula or paper towel.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the First Layer

    Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture (about 1/4 of the mixture) into the pan. Tilt the pan to cover the bottom evenly. Allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny.

  2. 4

    Roll the Omelette

    Using a spatula, carefully roll the cooked layer from one end to the other, forming a log shape. Once rolled, push the rolled omelette to one side of the pan.

  3. 5

    Add More Egg Mixture

    Pour another thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, making sure to cover the entire surface. Lift the rolled omelette slightly so the new mixture can flow underneath.

  4. 6

    Repeat the Process

    Allow this layer to cook for 1-2 minutes, then roll the previous omelette over it again. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is cooked, rolling each layer into the previous one.

  5. 7

    Final Cooking

    Once all layers are cooked and rolled, let the Tamago cook for another minute to ensure it is fully set. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Once the Tamago has cooled slightly, transfer it to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice it into even pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your homemade Tamago!
