Common questions about tamagoyaki
What is tamagoyaki?
Tamagoyaki is a Japanese rolled omelette made by cooking thin layers of seasoned beaten egg and rolling them onto each other into a firm, layered log, then slicing it. It is usually lightly sweet and savoury.
Do you need a special pan?
A rectangular tamagoyaki pan makes the rolling and shape easier, but you can make it in a round non-stick pan and trim the ends, which several recipes here show how to do.
Is tamagoyaki sweet or savoury?
Both, and the balance varies by region and cook. It is seasoned with sugar, soy and often dashi, so it lands somewhere between a sweet and a savoury egg dish.
