INGREDIENTS
- 4 Whole – Eggs
- 6 Tbsp – Water

- 2 Tsp – Mirin

DIRECTIONS
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, water, Hondashi®, mirin, and light soy sauce until well combined.
2. Heat a nonstick or tamagoyaki pan over medium heat.
3. Grease the pan evenly with vegetable oil.
4. Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan, just enough to cover the bottom.
5. When the egg begins to set, gently roll it towards you, then slide the rolled egg to the back of the pan.
6. Grease the empty part of the pan, pour another thin layer of egg mixture, and lift the rolled egg to allow the new egg layer to run underneath.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all the egg mixture has been used.
8. Once the egg has been cooked to a soft set, remove it from the heat. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
