Cook the Tamago
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add vegetable oil. Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting it to spread evenly. Cook until the edges start to set, then roll the omelet toward one side of the skillet. Add more egg mixture to the empty side and repeat until all the mixture is used. Remove from the skillet and let it cool before slicing.
