Method

  1. 01

    Mix eggs with water, dashi, soy sauce and sugar.

  2. 02

    Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and oil it lightly.

  3. 03

    Pour a thin egg layer. When mostly set but still slightly wet, roll it to one side.

  4. 04

    Oil the exposed pan, lift the roll so fresh egg can flow underneath, then add another thin layer.

  5. 05

    Repeat until the mixture is used up.

  6. 06

    Cook the finished roll another 30–60 seconds, then rest 1–2 minutes before slicing.
