Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients.
- Gently whisk the eggs in a bowl. It's best to "cut" the eggs with chopsticks in a zig-zag motion; do not overmix.
- In another bowl, combine the seasonings and mix well.
- Pour the seasonings mixture into the eggs and whisk gently. Then pour the mixture into a measuring cup with a spout and handle so that it'll be easier to pour into the frying pan.

TAMAGOYAKI (JAPANESE ROLLED OMELET)
Tamagoyaki, a Japanese staple, is made by carefully rolling several thin layers of cooked egg into a rectangular omelet, which creates a soft and delicate texture. Traditionally, it's made in a special tamagoyaki pan, but this version also works with an 8-inch nonstick skillet. There are sweet and savory variations, and this recipe falls somewhere in between the two: The soy sauce, mirin and dashi pack it with umami, while the sugar adds a subtle sweetness. The technique can be challenging at first, but do your best to keep each layer consistent in color and each fold parallel to the last. Don't worry about little tears; they'll be covered up with the next layer.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine eggs, mirin, soy sauce, dashi (if using) and sugar. Whisk until well combined.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a tamagoyaki pan or a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium. Using a small piece of folded paper towel, carefully wipe the excess oil from the pan and set aside paper towel (you will need it to grease the pan for each egg layer).
- Pour about 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the pan and quickly tilt the pan, swirling the egg mixture around to create an even layer. If there are thicker areas, gently poke a small hole at the thickest point with chopsticks and tilt and swirl the pan to cover exposed areas with more raw egg to form an even layer.
- After the layer is cooked, about 1 minute, using chopsticks or a rubber spatula, gently lift the egg edges on the farthest side to loosen the layer's grip. While tilting the pan, carefully fold the egg about 1/4 of the way toward yourself. Continue to fold the egg equally on itself until you have a narrow, rectangular omelet at the edge of the pan nearest you. Reduce the heat to medium-low if the egg is browning.
- Using the paper towel, lightly grease the exposed area of the pan. Pour another 3 tablespoons of the remaining egg mixture into the exposed area of the pan and quickly swirl it around to create another layer. Use chopsticks or a soft spatula to gently lift up the folded omelet and tilt the pan toward you so the raw egg mixture runs under the omelet.
- Once the layer is cooked, gently roll the omelet away from you in three to four flips. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 with remaining three layers, greasing the pan before each additional layer. The number of flips will decrease as the omelet grows in size with each additional layer.
- Transfer omelet to a cutting board or a plate when done. Cut crosswise into four pieces and rotate, cut side up, to show egg layers. (If using a nonstick 8-inch skillet, you can trim both ends of the omelet to make them even.) Serve immediately or chill for later.

Steps:
- Whisk eggs, dashi stock, sugar, mirin, and soy sauce together in a bowl.
- Heat 1/3 of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about 1/3 of the egg mixture and quickly swirl the pan to evenly cover the bottom. Start rolling up the omelette from one side to the other as soon as it is set.
- Keep the roll to one side, then add another 1/3 of the oil to the skillet and another 1/3 of the egg. Swirl the pan, ensuring the entire bottom is covered, including around and underneath the first roll. Cook until set. Roll up from the side containing the first roll, so that is now at the center.
- Repeat the process with the remaining oil and egg. Transfer rolled omelette to a bamboo rolling mat. Roll up tightly and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Unwrap the omelette and slice into 6 pieces. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:
- In a small bowl and using chopsticks, beat eggs until well combined and no visible traces of whites remain. Beat in the cooled dashi, mirin, and soy sauce.
- Add 1/4 of the egg mixture to the pan, tilting the pan to spread the egg around in an even layer covering the bottom of the pan. Using your chopsticks, puncture any large bubbles that form.
- When the egg has fully set on the bottom but is still slightly wet on top, begin your first roll: Lift the pan off the heat and try to slide one of your chopsticks under the far edge of the egg layer; then, with a quick upward motion of the pan, lift and roll the egg sheet up and over itself so that it rolls partway toward the handle. Repeat, rolling the egg sheet up fully toward the handle. This is the most difficult layer to roll because the egg sheet is so floppy; if you have trouble, don't worry, just use your chopsticks to push the egg sheet, bunching it up by the handle end.
- Now repeat the rolling step as before, sliding a chopstick under the far edge and flopping the cooked egg log over itself as you roll it toward the handle. Repeat the layering and rolling process 2 more times until the egg is finished.

- Use a non-stick frying pan: This will help the tamagoyaki cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
- Heat the pan over medium heat: If the pan is too hot, the tamagoyaki will cook too quickly and may burn.
- Use a thin layer of oil: This will help the tamagoyaki cook evenly and prevent it from sticking.
- Pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the pan: The egg mixture should be about 1/8 inch thick.
- Cook the egg mixture for about 30 seconds: Or until it is set around the edges.
- Roll the egg mixture up: Use a spatula to roll the egg mixture up from one side of the pan to the other.
- Push the rolled egg mixture to one side of the pan: This will make room for more egg mixture.
- Pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the pan: Repeat steps 4 to 7 until all of the egg mixture has been used.
- Serve the tamagoyaki immediately: Or let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Tamagoyaki is a delicious and versatile Japanese dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great source of protein and can be customized with a variety of fillings and toppings. With a little practice, you can make perfect tamagoyaki at home.
