Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (light soy sauce preferred)

- 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Dashi Powder (instant dashi granules)
- 1 tablespoon Japanese Mayonnaise (Kewpie style, rich and slightly sweet)
- 1 tablespoon Neutral Oil (for greasing the pan)

Instructions
Mix Egg Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, soy sauce, milk, sugar, dashi powder, and Japanese mayonnaise until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Time: PT5M
Preheat Pan
Place the tamagoyaki pan over medium heat and brush a thin layer of neutral oil onto the surface.
Time: PT2M

First Egg Layer
Pour about one‑quarter of the egg mixture into the pan, tilting to spread it into a thin, even sheet.
Time: PT1M
Temperature: Medium heat
Set First Layer
Allow the egg to set until the surface is just barely firm, about 30 seconds.
Time: PT30S
Temperature: Medium heat
Roll First Layer
Using the silicone spatula, gently roll the egg sheet from one side to the opposite side, forming a short roll.
Time: PT30S
Temperature: Medium heat
Build Additional Layers
Brush a little more oil if needed, pour another thin layer of egg mixture, letting it flow underneath the existing roll. Once set, roll the combined layers together. Repeat until all egg mixture is used, creating 4‑5 layers.

Slice Tamagoyaki
Transfer the rolled tamagoyaki onto a cutting board, let it rest for a minute, then slice into 1.5 cm thick strips.
