Step 1
Whisk 8 eggs in a bowl with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, and 0.5 tsp sugar until smooth.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering.
Step 3
Pour in a thin layer of egg mixture (about 1/4 of the total), tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
Step 4
When the bottom is set but the top is still slightly wet, roll the omelette tightly toward you with chopsticks or a spatula.
Step 5
Push the roll to one side, add a thin drizzle of oil, and repeat with remaining egg mixture, rolling new layers around the cooked roll.
Step 6
Once all egg is used, sear the roll seam-side down for 1 minute until golden on all edges.
Step 7
Toss snap peas with remaining 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt in a separate pan over high heat until blistered, about 4 minutes.
Step 8
Slice the tamagoyaki into 1-inch pieces and serve alongside the snap peas.
