Tamagoyaki (玉子焼き) is made by pan-frying thin layers of eggs and rolling them into a log, often using a special rectangular tamagoyaki pan. In Japan, it is enjoyed at any time of the day—from breakfast to bento lunches, or as a nice side dish for dinner. Tamagoyaki is a simple dish made with basic ingredients, but it plays a significant role in Japanese cuisine and is frequently seen in meals.
