Ingredients

Method

  1. Beat the eggs with the sugar, mirin, salt and 2 tbsp water until smooth, without whipping in too much air.
  2. Heat a small frying pan (ideally rectangular) over medium-low heat and wipe it with oiled kitchen paper.
  3. Pour in a thin layer of egg. When it is almost set but still a little wet on top, roll it from the far side towards you.
  4. Push the roll to the far side, oil the pan again and pour in another thin layer, lifting the roll so egg runs underneath.
  5. Once set, roll back over the new layer. Repeat until the egg is used up.
  6. Wrap the roll tightly in a clean cloth or cling film for 2 minutes to shape it, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
