Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, low sodium soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and water until fully combined. Make sure the sugar is dissolved.
Step 2
Heat a tamagoyaki pan (or a small non-stick rectangular/square pan) over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of neutral oil and use a paper towel to spread it evenly over the surface of the pan.
Step 3
Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting it to spread the mixture evenly across the surface.
Step 4
Once the egg is mostly set but still slightly soft on top, use chopsticks or a spatula to gently roll the egg layer toward one side of the pan.
Step 5
Oil the pan again lightly if needed. Pour another thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, ensuring it flows underneath the rolled egg. Allow it to set slightly, then roll it again, adding to the previous roll.
Step 6
Repeat the process of adding thin layers, setting, and rolling until all the egg mixture is used. You should end up with a compact rolled omelette.
Step 7
Remove the tamagoyaki from the pan and let it cool slightly on a cutting board.
Step 8
Slice the tamagoyaki into even pieces (about 1-inch thick) and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a side dish or snack!
