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.

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.
TAMAGOYAKI (WITH DASHI)
This is the best looking and tasting original tamagoyaki recipe I've come across. It's from the sazan kitchen studio and I found it on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z52CNYOWZRU I basically duplicated the recipe with a few changes to share with all my fellow Food.com users, but you can watch the video yourself if you like.

Steps:
- Crack eggs into an appropriately sized bowl.
- Add the light shoyu, salt, and mirin to the eggs.
- Beat the ingredients together, then add dashi.
- Mix the dashi in lightly. It is important you don't mix too much, or the dashi will lose its flavor.*.
- Soak a paper towel in oil and wipe a frying pan with it, then put your frying pan over medium heat. If you have a rectangular or square pan, use that for best results.
- When the frying pan is hot, pour a thin layer of egg over it. Use your hashi or flipper to pop the bubbles.
- If using hashi, you need to flip or "roll" the egg towards you while gently guiding it with your hashi. Beginners may want to use a flipper, in which case you only need to roll the egg either toward you or away from you. Try not to rip the egg, but just keep rolling if you do.
- Now the rolled egg is on one side of the pan. You can choose to take it off of the heat now, or you can wipe the pan with oil again and add more egg. If so, remember to lift the cooked egg up to let the raw egg under it. Repeat until you have used all of the egg.
- After all of the egg had been used, move it (or them) to a cutting board. You can use a paper towel to shape the tamagoyaki while it is still hot, if you so choose.
- With the long side of the tamagoyaki parallel to yourself, slice evenly, though not too thin. There you have classic tamagoyaki!
- *If you are worried about appearance, this is the point where you would strain the egg through a sieve.

Tips:
- Use a well-seasoned tamagoyaki pan. This will help the eggs cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a mixture of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin to season the eggs. This will give them a delicious umami flavor.
- Cook the eggs over low heat. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Roll the eggs tightly as you cook them. This will help them hold their shape.
- Serve the tamagoyaki immediately, or let it cool and slice it into pieces before serving.
Conclusion:
Tamagoyaki is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover eggs, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. With a little practice, you can make tamagoyaki that is perfect for any occasion.
