Tamagoyaki is thin layers of eggs cooked and rolled into a log using a special rectangular Tamagoyaki pan. This neatly shaped Japanese omelette is a great side dish for any meal, but it is an especially wonderful addition to a Bento lunch since it’s good cold. You can mix in different flavors and ingredients to regular Tamagoyaki so that you don’t get tired of the same old taste (well, is that possible?). Here we added Benishoga, pickled red ginger, to one version to give a little spiciness and sourness. In another one, cooked spinach, was added to give a nice green color and extra nutritions. You can also try chopped ham, Aonori (dried green seaweed), or any meats and vegetables you like for variations. Play with it, and create your own original Tamagoyaki!
