Nori Omelet

Serves 2

Method

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, mirin, salt and sugar (if using).

Heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot.

Pour in oil and swirl to coat the bottom and about 1/4 inch up the sides of the pan.

Pour in egg mixture and swirl again to coat the bottom evenly.

Lower heat to medium-low. Place nori sheet on top, cover the pan and cook until eggs are set and nori is pliable, 2 to 3 minutes.

With a spatula, loosen one edge of omelet; gently fold edge over, then fold again, rolling omelet up like a jelly roll.

Remove from the heat and slide omelet onto a plate or cutting board. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes to allow nori to soften.

Cut omelet in half crosswise, or let cool a few more minutes and cut it into 6 to 8 slices to reveal the interior.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
