a type of omelet made by rolling together multiple layers of cooked egg
What is "rolled omelet"?
A rolled omelet is a type of omelet that is made by rolling multiple layers of thin, cooked eggs around a filling such as vegetables or seafood. The eggs are first beaten with a little bit of sugar and soy sauce to create a slightly sweet and savory flavor, and then cooked in a rectangular frying pan called a makiyakinabe. As each layer of egg is cooked, it is rolled up to create a cylindrical shape. The process is repeated until the desired thickness is achieved. Rolled omelets are a popular breakfast and lunch dish in Japan, and can also be found in other parts of Asia. They are often sliced into bite-sized pieces and served as a side dish or as a topping for sushi.
