Tamagoyaki is a traditional Japanese omelette consisting of eggs, heart-healthy dashi, and a variety of ingredients. The subtle sweetness of the dish pairs perfectly with a cup of green tea, making it an ideal way to start off a lazy weekend morning. Tamagoyaki is created through the skillful art of rolling multiple thin omelettes over one another, creating thin and flavorful layers. It's a dish that requires practice – and plenty of patience – to perfect, but it's well worth the effort in the end.

3 eggs
2 tbsp. dashi
1/2 tsp. sugar
