Method
Whisk the eggs with the kombu dashi, caster sugar, soy sauce and salt until smooth.
Heat a little vegetable oil in a small frying pan over medium heat and wipe out any excess with a folded paper towel.
Pour in a thin layer of the mixture and cook for 1 minute until just set, then roll it up towards one edge of the pan using chopsticks or a spatula.
Oil the empty part of the pan, pour in another thin layer, lifting the rolled omelette so the raw egg flows underneath, and cook for 1 minute before rolling again.
Repeat pouring, cooking and rolling with the remaining egg mixture until it is all used, building up a thick layered roll.
Slide the finished roll onto a bamboo sushi mat, shape it into a neat rectangle and leave to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
