  6. Start rolling the omelette from the back of the pan towards you, pinching and scooping to flip it over.
  7. Push the rolled omelette to the far end of the pan and add another layer of egg mixture.
  8. Repeat the rolling process until all egg mixture is used.
  9. Transfer the rolled omelette to a bamboo sushi mat, shape it, and cut into 1-inch thick slices.
  10. Serve with grated daikon radish if desired.
