Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp dashi stock
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps

  1. Whisk eggs gently with dashi, sugar, soy sauce, and mirin — avoid creating bubbles for a smooth texture.
  2. Heat a tamagoyaki pan over medium-low heat and brush with a thin layer of oil using a paper towel.
  3. Pour a thin layer of egg mixture and let it cook until just set on top but still slightly wet.
  4. Roll it to one side of the pan using chopsticks.
  5. Repeat 4-5 times: oil the pan, pour thin layer, lift the roll to let egg flow underneath, cook and roll again, building layers.
  6. Slice into pieces when cool.
