Beat your eggs well in a bowl using either a fork, or chopsticks. Then add soy sauce, mirin dashi stock and sugar to your mix. Add a bit of salt and mix well again.
Put a small amount of cooking oil in your pan and bring it up to medium heat. Keep some kitchen roll handy to help keep the pan oiled during cooking.
Add a small amount (about 2-3 tbsp) of your egg mix into the heated pan. Once the egg has cooked slightly so that the top is still slightly uncooked, push it over to the side of your pan.
Add a little more oil to the pan using the kitchen roll to wipe the oil over the pan and add another small amount of the egg mix to your pan. Again, wait for your omelette to cook a little, but before it sets on top. You can then begin to roll the first bit of egg over the omelette you just put in the pan until you have a small roll of egg.
Continue adding a small amount of egg while oiling the pan each time in between. As you add more egg and roll it up each time, your egg roll will start getting larger and easier to add new layers. Keep your hop low heat. Keep adding the egg in new layers until you have used it all up.
Here you have ii! Your tamagoyaki or Japanese egg omelette. Remove it from the pan and wait to cool before slicing it up into thin pieces. You can sprinkle some thinly sliced spring onions on top. Serve with Japanese rice or put it in bento set.
