Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dashi (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a whisk or chopsticks until combined.
Add sugar, soy sauce, and dashi (if using) to the eggs. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is uniform.
Heat a square or rectangular tamagoyaki pan (or a non-stick frying pan) over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with vegetable oil using a paper towel.
Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, just enough to coat the bottom. Swirl the pan to spread the egg evenly.
As the egg starts to set but is still slightly runny, use a spatula or chopsticks to roll the egg into a log shape, starting from one end of the pan and rolling toward the other side.
Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan. Lightly oil the empty side and pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the pan, allowing it to flow under the rolled egg.
Repeat the process of rolling and adding more egg mixture until all the egg is used up and the omelet has multiple layers.
Once finished, remove the omelet from the pan and let it cool slightly. Slice it into 1/2-inch-thick pieces for sushi rolls or serve as-is.
