Low-sodium soy sauce is healthier, while tamari can be a gluten-free alternative.

Season four large eggs with salt, soy sauce, and mirin or sugar and mix.

Heat a 10-inch frying pan at medium-high heat and spread some oil.

Pour some egg mixture for the first layer.

Gently roll the egg from one side to the other after it sets a little.

Spread more oil using a paper towel if needed.

Pour more egg mixture for the second layer, covering the bottom of the pan.

Start to roll when the bottom of the egg has set and there is still liquid on top.

Use chopsticks or a spatula to help roll the egg.

Repeat adding egg to the pan and rolling back and forth until the egg is used up.

Remove from the pan and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Trim the end if desired.
