Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk 4 eggs, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 1/4 cup green onions in a bowl until fully combined.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread into a thin layer.

- Step 4: Repeat steps 2-3 until all the mixture is cooked through, creating 4 layers. Serve warm with a drizzle of soy sauce.
