For a richer flavor, consider adding a tiny splash of mirin (sweet rice wine) to the egg mixture. Use a rectangular Tamagoyaki pan for the most authentic shape, but a small non-stick skillet works just fine. Don't rush the cooking process; low and slow heat is key to a tender and evenly cooked omelet. Experiment with adding other ingredients to the egg mixture, such as chopped scallions or a pinch of dashi powder.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, gently whisk together the eggs, water, soy sauce, and sugar until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the omelet tender. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
StepHeat a non-stick omelet pan or small skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with cooking oil to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
03
StepPour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the heated pan. As the bottom begins to set, use chopsticks or a spatula to gently lift the edge and allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)
04
StepOnce the first layer is mostly set but still slightly moist, gently fold it over onto itself. Push the folded omelet to one side of the pan. (Cook time: 1 minute)
05
StepAdd another thin layer of egg mixture to the empty side of the pan, lifting the cooked omelet to allow the new mixture to flow underneath. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)
06
StepRepeat the folding process, incorporating each new layer into the existing omelet. Continue until all the egg mixture is used, shaping the omelet into a rectangular or cylindrical form. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)
07
StepRemove the Tamagoyaki from the pan and let it cool slightly. Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve warm, accompanied by grated daikon radish and soy sauce.
