Crack the eggs in a bowl along with 2 tablespoons water
Add the soy sauce, sugar, salt and rice wine and whisk together until combined but not frothy
Pour the egg mixture into an oiled baking pan, approximately 2 cm (3/4 inch) deep
Brush a hot pan with oil, then pour a thin layer of egg mixture into the pan and let stand over medium heat until bubbles appear
Use a small spatula to lift the edge and fold it over twice towards the edge of the pan so that it is 6 cm (2 1/4 inches) wide
Brush the free space in the pan with a little oil and pour a thin layer of egg mixture into that space, immediately lifting the edge to let uncooked egg run underneath, and when just set roll the rolled egg up in this new layer
Continue in this manner until the entire egg is used and the omelette is about 2 cm (3/4 inch thick
) Let the finished omelet cool to room temperature
Cut in half crosswise, then cut those halves into 4 equally sized, rectangular pieces
Cut the nori sheet into eight 2 cm (3/4 inch) wide strips
Form the sushi rice into 8 rectangular blocks
Top each rice block with a slice of omelet and gently press down with your hands
Wrap each in a strip of nori, “gluing” in place wtih a few grains of rice
