Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1/4 tsp salt until just combined, about 30 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in half the egg mixture, tilting to spread evenly.

  3. Step 3

    When the egg is set but still soft, about 2 minutes, roll it to one side of the pan. Add the remaining egg mixture, lifting the roll to let it flow underneath.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until the new layer is set, about 2 minutes, then roll the whole omelette into a log. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Spread 1 tbsp butter on the 2 slices of bread. Place the lettuce leaves on one slice, then slice the tamagoyaki into 4 pieces and layer them on top.

  6. Step 6

    Close the sandwich with the other bread slice, press gently, and cut in half. Serve immediately.
