How to Make A Japanese Omelette Roll

 I was looking around for some tasty, yet different ways to cook up eggs.  I came across this incredible recipe from Tom over at Noodles and Rice.  It is called a Japanese Omelette Roll:

Ingredients       

3 tablespoons of sugar

1/5 cup of stock (anything would be nice but “dashi” fish stock is Traditional)                         

a good pinch of salt                       

1 tablespoon of soy sauce                       

5 eggs 

How to put it together:                       

• Mix the first 4 ingredients thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved (near enough is good enough).
• Lightly beat the eggs until they are broken up a bit but not frothy
• Mix all the ingredients together lightly.

Tom says that it is an elegant and common Japanese meal.  It is only a few ingredients and takes a small rectangular fry pan, or something similar will work as well.  You cook the eggs in thin layers and roll as you go.  It may take a little time, but it sounds great and depending on who or what you are making it for you may have a little leftover for the following day.
