instructions
    1

    In a bowl, beat the eggs with soy sauce, mirin, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

    2

    Chop the crab meat into small pieces and finely chop the green onions.

    3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil, ensuring it's evenly coated after a few moments.

    4

    Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and gently swirl to spread it out evenly. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until the edges begin to set.

    5

    Sprinkle half of the crab meat and green onions on top of the partially cooked omelette.

    6

    Carefully fold the omelette in half, then slide it to one side of the skillet.

    7

    Add the remaining egg mixture to the skillet, allowing it to spread out, and repeat the same process with the remaining crab and green onions.

    8

    Once the second omelette is ready, fold it over just like the first one and cook for an additional minute to ensure it's fully cooked.

    9

    Gently slide the omelette onto a plate, cut it into portions, and serve it warm.
