Instructions
1
Prep
Whisk eggs, dashi, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves completely and no egg white streaks remain.
2
Heat
Set a small nonstick pan over medium-low heat for 1 minute, wipe a thin film of oil across the surface with paper towel.
3
Layer
Pour thin egg mixture layer into pan, tilting to coat base; cook 30 seconds until top sets but remains glossy and wet.
4
Roll
Using chopsticks or spatula, roll the set egg toward you into a log, then push the roll back to the far edge.
5
Repeat
Re-oil lightly, pour another thin egg layer, lifting the log so raw egg flows underneath; cook 30 seconds and roll again.
6
Rest
Transfer the roll to foil and wrap snugly; let sit 2 minutes so layers set firmly and slice cleanly.
7
Plate
Unwrap and slice the roll into 4–5 pieces, arrange on a small plate and serve with daikon alongside.
