Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
• 4 tablespoons prepared dashi stock
• 0.5 teaspoon soy sauce
• 0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk eggs, dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce together in a bowl.

Step 2

Heat ⅓ oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about ⅓ egg mixture; quickly swirl the pan to evenly cover the bottom. Start rolling up omelette from one side to the other as soon as it is set.

Step 3

Keep roll to one side; add ⅓ more oil to the skillet and ⅓ more egg. Swirl the pan, ensuring entire bottom is covered, including around and underneath first roll; cook until set. Roll up omelette starting from side with first roll, and including first roll, so you end up with one roll.

Step 4

Repeat process with remaining ⅓ each oil and egg and so you end up with one roll; transfer to a bamboo rolling mat. Roll up omelette tightly; cool about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Unwrap omelette; slice into 6 pieces. Serve warm or cold.
