INGREDIENTS

4 large eggs
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp mirin (if you can't find it, omit it)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soy sauce
vegetable oil
frying pan (the smaller the better)
a bamboo sushi mat or a stack of paper towels (3 or 4)

PREPARATION

Combine eggs, sugar, mirin, salt and soy sauce in a bowl. Heat the pan to medium-low, scrambled egg heat. Ranges need real temperatures
Pour 1/4 to 1/5 of the egg mixture into the pan. When the egg is just set, roll it to the other side of the pan.
Fill the pan with another 1/4 to 1/5 of the egg mixture, making sure that it gets under and around the egg roll. You want this layer to stick to the previous.
What that layer is just set, roll the egg back towards you. I cooked it too much right here if you can tell
Repeat until you use all of the egg mixture. When you do, remove the egg roll from the pan and place it on a sushi mat or stack of paper towels. Roll it up so it retains its shape, then let sit to cool.
When it's cool, cut into 1'' slices. Stick it in a bento for later OR EAT.
