Servings 2
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (light)
- 1 tbsp water
- A small drizzle of vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, soy sauce, and water until smooth.
- Heat a small non‑stick pan over low‑medium heat, lightly oil.
- Pour in a thin layer of egg, tilt to coat. When just set, roll from one side to the other with a spatula or chopsticks.
- Push rolled egg to one side, oil pan lightly again, pour another thin layer, lift the roll so uncooked egg flows underneath.
- Repeat until all egg is used, forming a layered roll.
- Remove, cool slightly, and slice into thick pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
