  2. Heat your tamagoyaki or frying pan over medium heat and add oil to coat the bottom.
  3. Pour a portion of the egg mixture into the pan; tilt to spread evenly.
  4. Once edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny, carefully roll one side toward the center.
  5. Shift the rolled omelette to one side and add more egg mixture to fill empty space; repeat until fully cooked.
  6. Remove from heat and slice into pieces to serve warm or at room temperature.
