▶ Watch the recipe
Before you begin
Lifting the previous roll lets the next layer flow underneath and join neatly.
Method 做法
Season the eggs
Beat the eggs with salt, sugar, dashi and water until combined. Set out the egg mixture and a little oil beside the stove.
Cook the first layer
Heat a rectangular tamagoyaki pan over medium heat and brush lightly with oil. Swirl in about one-quarter of the mixture. When the layer is partly set but still tacky, roll it gently to one side.

Build the layers
Move the roll to the far end. Add another quarter of the egg and lift the roll just enough to let the wet egg run underneath. When it begins to set, roll toward you. Repeat with the remaining two portions.

Slice and serve
Let the last seam set against the pan. Transfer to a board and cut across the roll to reveal the layers. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve chilled.
