Recipe

Crack 5 eggs into a bowl by tapping them on the bottom.
Add 3 pinches of salt and 1 tablespoon of milk, then gently whisk the eggs.
Pour the well-mixed egg mixture through a sieve while stirring with a spoon to completely remove stringy bits.
Mix in 1 tablespoon of mirin to eliminate the eggs' natural fishy odor.
Preheat a frying pan over the lowest heat, add vegetable oil, and lightly wipe with a kitchen towel to coat the surface.
Pour a portion of the egg mixture evenly to form a thin layer, place one piece of imitation crab sticks at the edge, and slowly roll it up.
Pull the rolled egg forward, fill the empty space with more egg mixture, add a little oil as needed, and continue rolling. Repeat using the remaining egg mixture and one more piece of imitation crab sticks to make it thick and substantial.
Let the well-formed egg roll cool slightly, then slice into convenient serving sizes to finish.

Whisk eggs with salt and milk, strain through a sieve to remove stringy bits, then mix in mirin.
Heat a pan on low heat, coat with oil, pour in egg mixture, place imitation crab sticks on top, and roll up.
Continuously add egg mixture and roll until thick, then let cool slightly before slicing.

Cooking tips

Adding 1 tablespoon of milk to the egg mixture prevents tearing and makes the egg roll much moister and softer. If milk is unavailable, substitute with a pinch of sugar.
When cooking the eggs, always use the lowest possible heat to avoid burning and ensure a clean, bright yellow egg roll.
After fully rolling, turn off the heat and gently press the egg roll with a wooden spatula or similar tool inside the pan to firm up its shape.
