Tamago yaki
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Japanese omelette will appeal to both children and adults. You can make "Tamago yaki" with a variety of fillings: ham, cheese, tomatoes, minced meat, etc. Everything depends on your imagination and, of course, taste preferences. Tamago is easy to make at home and can be cooked using a regular pancake pan. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, but I wouldn't recommend omitting it completely—it's the unique touch that makes this simple and budget-friendly dish so special. The finished dish is ready to be served.

Step 3
Now an important point! The beaten eggs need to be strained through a sieve to remove any lumps.

Add soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar to the strained eggs. Mix well.

Step 5
If you have a square frying pan — great! If not, take a regular crepe pan, heat it up and grease with oil. Pour a small ladleful of the egg mixture into the pan and spread it out in a circle.

Step 6
Once the omelet mixture sets, roll it up directly in the pan into a log. The Japanese do this with chopsticks, but I used a regular spatula to help.

Step 7
Leave the rolled omelet near the edge of the pan and brush the pan with oil again. Pour in a ladle of the egg mixture and once more spread it in a circular motion, making sure the mixture goes underneath the rolled omelet.

Step 8
When the omelet has set, carefully fold it in the opposite direction, i.e., roll it over the previously cooked roll.

Repeat the procedure until the omelet mixture is used up. I usually get 6-8 pancakes.
