Pop any air bubbles with a fork. Cook low for about 40 sections until the edges are dry and egg crepe pulls from pan. Flip over with a spatula and cook for a few more seconds until done. Set aside and allow to cool to room temperature.

Julienne sive the Japanese cucumber, lobster meat, egg crepe, and bell peppers. Put on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

When its time to serve, remove the chilled plates, noodles, and toppings from refrigerator. Place a serving of noodles on each dish. Arrange the even section of lobster, yellow pepper, cucumber, egg, and red pepper around the center of the noodles. Place a mound equivalent to one teaspoon of picked ginger in the center of the noodle dish.

Drizzle about 1/4 cup of sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle equivalent to one tablespoon of shredded nori over entire dish and serve.

For those who prefer a tangy flavor, sake can be added to taste.
