Description
A delicious and fluffy Japanese rolled omelet, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the skillet, just enough to cover the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny.
- Using a spatula, gently roll the omelet from one side to the other, creating a log shape. Push the rolled omelet to one side of the skillet.
- Add another teaspoon of oil to the empty side of the skillet, then pour another thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, lifting the rolled omelet slightly to let the new mixture flow underneath.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then roll the omelet over the new layer, repeating the process until all the egg mixture is used.
- Once cooked, remove the omelet from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing into pieces.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream to the egg mixture.
- You can customize the filling by adding cooked shrimp, crab, or sautéed vegetables for added flavor.
