Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbsp Dashi stock
  • 2 tsp cane sugar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp spray cooking oil (canola, avocado, vegetable, etc.)
  • 1 tbsp Kewpie Mayo

Instructions

Preparing the egg mixture

  • Crack eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk with chopsticks until fully combined.
  • Mix together Dashi, soy sauce, sugar, and mirin in a separate bowl.
  • Add seasoning mixture to eggs and gently whisk.

Cooking the Omelette

  • Heat nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, spray cooking oil to cover all sides and edges.
  • Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan until the surface is fully covered.
  • Once the bottom side of the first egg layer has set, gently roll the egg towards you, and press out any air bubbles.
  • Spray another layer of cooking oil, then add a second layer of the egg mixture to the pan. Be sure to lift up the previously rolled layer to add egg underneath.
  • Once the new layer has set, repeat rolling the omelette, and press out excess air.
  • Repeat steps until all the egg mixture has been used. If desired, allow to cool in a sushi mat or layer of plastic wrap to set shape.
  • Top with Kewpie mayo and serve!
