Japanese Rolled Omelet with Carrot and Green Onion

Posted on

Updated on

A beautifully colorful tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) flavored with dashi and soy sauce.

This savory version isn’t sweet, so it pairs perfectly with rice and works great as a side dish or for bento lunches.

The addition of finely chopped carrots and green onions adds both texture and color, brightening up your table.

    Heat a tamagoyaki pan (or small nonstick frying pan) over medium heat.
