Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the water, soy sauce, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

02

Step
1 mins

Add the egg to the bowl and whisk until the mixture is homogenous and slightly frothy. (Estimated time: 1 minute)

03

Step
2 mins

Heat a non-stick skillet or tamagoyaki pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water evaporates almost instantly. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan, spreading it evenly. Cook until the bottom of the omelet has set but the top is still slightly moist, approximately 3-5 minutes.

05

Step
2 mins

Carefully flip and fold the omelet into a square or rectangular shape. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure it's cooked through.

06

Step

Transfer the Tamagoyaki to a plate and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

For an even sweeter omelet, increase the sugar to 1 teaspoon.
A small, rectangular tamagoyaki pan will make the folding process easier, but a non-stick skillet works just fine.
Be patient and keep the heat at medium to prevent burning. The key is to cook the egg slowly to achieve a tender texture.
Serve the Tamagoyaki with a side of grated daikon radish or ginger for a refreshing contrast.
