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.
