Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Steamed rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Add sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and a pinch of salt to the eggs; mix until everything is well combined.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil, coating the surface evenly.

  4. 4

    Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to cover the bottom.

  5. 5

    Cook the eggs until they start to set but are still slightly runny on top, about 1-2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Using a spatula, carefully roll the omelet towards one side of the skillet.

  7. 7

    Add more egg mixture to the empty side of the skillet, lifting the rolled omelet to let it flow underneath.

  8. 8

    Once the new layer is mostly set, roll the omelet again, continuing this process until all the egg mixture is used.

  9. 9

    Remove the tamagoyaki from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and slice into pieces for serving alongside steamed rice.
