Tamagoyaki is a lightly sweet, savory Japanese rolled omelette with soft, custardy layers and deep umami flavor from dashi stock. It takes a little practice, but once you get the technique down, it comes together in just 10 minutes. Serve it warm with rice and miso soup, or pack it into a bento box for lunch.
