Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  3. Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the pan and quickly swirl the pan to spread the mixture evenly.
  4. When the egg starts to set, gently roll it up from one end to the other with chopsticks or a spatula. Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan.
  5. Add another 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side of the pan and pour another 1/4 of the egg mixture. Swirl the pan again to spread the mixture and roll it up with the already cooked egg.
  6. Repeat the process two more times, adding oil, pouring the egg mixture, rolling it up, and pushing it to the side of the pan.
  7. Once all the egg mixture is used and rolled up, remove the tamagoyaki from the pan and let it cool slightly.
  8. Slice the tamagoyaki into bite-sized pieces and serve it as is or with soy sauce for dipping.
