    Chicken and mushrooms, together? Really? Who does that. Not for me!

    Honestly, I don’t get the hype. It was pretty bland. Needs spices or something.

    Yum! I added some chives I had and it was so good! Will make again!

    Omelette? More like overcooked scrambled eggs. No offense! 😬

    I found it to be too salty with the soy sauce. Maybe less next time?

    1. User avatar Amanda B. Reckonwith says:

      5 stars
      I totally agree! I decided to skip the soy sauce next time, and it turned out great!

      Less soy sauce? But that’s the best part! Maybe you just used too much salt before??

    Easy to make! But my omelette fell apart when I tried to flip it. Still tasted good tho!

    I don’t know what mirin is… can I just use regular wine? 🤔

    Omelette? I just scrambled everything together… wasn’t a fan of the texture.

  11. 1 star
    Why mirin? Is that really necessary? I just used extra soy sauce.

    1. User avatar loriann.hackett33 says:

      5 stars
      Mirin adds a unique sweetness that soy sauce can’t replicate. It balances flavors, trust me!

  12. User avatar Zaphod Beeblebrox says:

    It was alright, but I think I needed to add more soy sauce. Also, my eggs turned out a bit runny.

    1. User avatar smartestRedditor says:

      4 stars
      I totally get what you mean! A bit more soy sauce can really enhance the flavor. And runny eggs can be tricky—maybe just cook them a little longer next time!

    I tried making this but ended up burning the eggs… not my day. 😩

    Too much chicken for my liking. I think I’ll put less next time or try with tofu instead.

    Not a fan of mirin. Can I just use more soy sauce instead?

    1. User avatar Kuhn Sidajj says:

      4 stars
      Yeah, you can totally use more soy sauce. Just remember it’ll be saltier!

  20. User avatar valentine.zieme51 says:

    I don’t understand why it’s called a Japanese omelette. Seems pretty normal to me. Just eggs and chicken.

    1. User avatar Gandalf the Grey says:

      4 stars
      It’s called a Japanese omelette ’cause of the soy sauce and mirin! Adds a special twist. 😋

    Who thinks of putting chicken in an omelette? Such a weird combo. I dunno… didn’t love it.

  40. 2 stars
    Wow, this is a lot of steps for an omelette. Can’t I just scramble everything? 🤔

  41. User avatar titus.wiza17 says:

    Easy to follow, but didn’t taste as good as I expected. Needs more seasoning.

    1. User avatar wenona.schaden1956 says:

      2 stars
      Nah, I thought it was fine without extra stuff. Maybe try cooking it differently? 🤷‍♂️

    2. User avatar Caleb Hills says:

      4 stars
      I totally agree! I thought the same thing. A sprinkle of garlic powder might help too.

  42. User avatar thao.rodriguez83 says:

    3 stars
    I found the flavor kinda bland… needed more seasoning, maybe some garlic or chili flakes?
