Tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) (卵焼き or 玉子焼き), meaning ‘grilled egg,’ is a delightful Japanese omelet made by rolling together several layers of beaten fried eggs. Traditionally cooked in a rectangular pan known as a makiyakinabe or tamagoyaki pan, this dish combines simplicity with elegance. With the perfect blend of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a hint of red pepper flakes, enjoy my version of this classic Japanese recipe!
