Sweet Soy Omelette

This is from a Jill Dupleix recipe book (Good Cooking: the new essentials).  There are a few double page spreads of a focus ingredient used in different, quick recipes, and I'd just skipped over them, except for the lime page.  Mmmmm lime....  But back to the soy.  Needing a quick dinner tonight, the soy omelette said, Try Me, and I did.  Everyone else listens to the illustrations in cookbooks, right?  Yeah, I thought so.

Beat 2 eggs with 1 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp mirin.  Heat 1 tsp oil in a wok, swirl to coat, add the egg mixture, swirl again, loosen the sides, and you're good to go.  Can be rolled and sliced to add to fried rice, soups, or stir fries (as pictured).  It is delicious. 

As you can see, mine is a little darker on the underside.  This is what happens when you take photos while cooking.  It's looking good, put the camera down, and suddenly it's gone all crispy.  Be warned.
