eating that flip over noodle thingy

I discovered a new eating experience in Japan, it's called Economeachi, though it probably isn't spelled that way. Basically it's a blend of pancake mixture, noodles, bacon, salad and eggs. You fry them altogether yourself on a hot plate sunk into the table. Actually the Japanese have at least 3 styles of DIY cooking, Korean BBQ, Shaboo Shaboo and Economeachi, all of which are delicious.
Helpfully they provide a set of instructions - pictures too!

And now the all important toss...
The finished article

I've had them a few times and the little equivallent (the octopus thing you burned your mouth on in Osaka) but to actually do it yourself, well I believe Paul Daniels said it best 'that's magic
!'
