5. Stack the three sheets of omelet, and cut them into three equal parts.
6. Stack the three equal parts.
7. Cut the omelet into thin strips.

Note
* The non-stick pan is better to make kinshitamago.
* If you want smooth texture and color, strain the egg mixture before frying.
* If you worried about breaking thin omelet, add the 1/2tbsp potato starch or cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water into egg mixture. And if you can’t turn the omelet over, please lid on the pan in the process 2. So you don’t need to turn it over.
* It’s important that they look without imparting baked color, So don’t heat the pan too much. If you heat it excessively, transfer the pan on top of the wet towel to stop browning.
Enjoy!
