instructions
    1

    In a bowl, crack open 4 eggs and beat them well until incorporated. This should take about 1 minute.

    2

    Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of mirin, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt to the eggs. Whisk them together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform. It should take about 2 minutes.

    3

    Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes. You can use a little oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    4

    Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

    5

    Using a spatula, carefully roll the cooked egg towards one side of the pan. Leave the rolled egg in place and pour in more egg mixture to cover the empty part of the pan.

    6

    Let the new layer cook for another 1-2 minutes until it sets, then roll the first layer onto the new layer. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used up.

    7

    Once cooked, transfer the Tamagoyaki onto a cutting board and let it cool for a minute. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
