instructions
    1

    In a mixing bowl, crack 4 pieces of egg and whisk them until smooth, about 2 minutes.

    2

    Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of mirin, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the eggs.

    3

    Mix thoroughly until the sugar is fully dissolved, roughly 1-2 minutes.

    4

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan.

    5

    Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the skillet to form a thin layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.

    6

    Gently roll the omelette towards the edge of the skillet away from you, then push it to the side of the skillet.

    7

    Pour another 1/4 of the egg mixture into the skillet, lifting the rolled omelette to let the uncooked egg flow underneath.

    8

    Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set again, then roll the omelette towards the edge once more.

    9

    Repeat this process for the remaining egg mixture until you have a rolled omelette.

    10

    Once cooked, gently remove the omelette from the pan and let it sit for a couple of minutes before slicing into pieces.
