Japanese omelet is a refined dish that combines the softness of eggs with the delicate creaminess of mayonnaise. Its cooking technique resembles art: thin layers of omelet are carefully rolled to create an airy texture and exquisite flavor. Although the recipe is simple, its execution requires patience and precision. The dish's origins can be found in Japanese omelet variations like tamagoyaki, but its adaptation with mayonnaise gives it a richer and creamier taste. The omelet pairs excellently with vegetables and meat, creating a harmonious dish for breakfast or a light dinner. The secret to its success lies in the smoothness of movements and attention to detail that transforms an ordinary omelet into a gastronomic delight.
1
Carefully break the eggs and whisk them.
- Chicken egg: 3 pieces
2
Now we add mayonnaise. The proportions are: 1 tablespoon per egg. By the way, there's no need to salt the mixture; the saltiness of the mayonnaise is enough. Again, we blend everything until a homogeneous liquid mass forms.
- Mayonnaise: 3 tablespoons
3
Place the pan on low heat, heating it with a small amount of vegetable oil. Just a little. Excess oil will spoil the taste and process — this is important to consider. Pour a little liquid omelet into the pan, as if we are frying pancakes.
4
Quickly spread the batter over the entire surface of the pan. The thinner the pancake, the better.
5
We roll the resulting pancake. It is convenient to do this with a spatula, pressing slightly and giving the roll a flat shape. We move the formed roll to the edge of the pan.
6
Pour the next portion of liquid omelet, spreading the mixture in the pan so that it slightly flows under the roll.
- Chicken egg: 3 pieces
7
Pour again... and roll... and pour well... and roll, until the entire liquid omelet becomes a rolled omelet.
- Chicken egg: 3 pieces

When the bowl with liquid omelet is finally empty, transfer the resulting omelet onto a plate with waiting tomatoes and meat, cut into convenient slices, and serve at the table!
