Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp mirin (or substitute with 1 tsp sugar mixed with 1 tsp water)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin until well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add oil to coat the bottom.
- Pour a quarter of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to create an even layer. Cook until just set but slightly runny on top (about 1 minute).
- Carefully roll the omelet towards one side of the pan and push it back to the edge.
- Add another quarter of the egg mixture, lifting the rolled omelet so uncooked egg flows underneath. Repeat until all mixture is cooked.
- Transfer to a cutting board, slice into thick pieces, and serve warm or cold.
