Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, crack 4 large eggs and whisk until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons dashi stock, 1 tablespoon white sugar, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Whisk thoroughly again.
  2. Heat a tamago pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Test with water drops. Coat the surface with vegetable oil.
  3. Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly soft.
  4. Roll the cooked egg to one side of the pan to form a tight cylinder.
  5. Pour another thin layer of egg mixture, swirling to cover the surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then lift the rolled omelet slightly to let uncooked egg flow underneath.
  6. Continue rolling the omelet until all egg mixture is cooked. Let it cook for an additional minute to ensure layers are heated through.
  7. Remove the rolled omelet from the pan and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into 6 equal pieces.
