Recipe Tips
It is best to use a tamago pan
a 5x7-inch square nonstick frying pan
but any small pan will work — you just won't have square ends on your finished omelet.Mirin is a sweet rice wine
and dashi is a Japanese soup stock made from kelp or shiitake. These ingredients are now carried in most larger grocery stores or at Asian markets.
