Sukiyaki beef rolls

Method

1. First prepare the marinade. In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, ginger, mirin and wasabi. Add the beef slices and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2. Remove a slice of beef from the marinade and shake off the excess liquid. Place on a flat surface and carefully spread a little wasabi over the slice.

3. Place 1 nori strip over the beef. Place 2 or 3 slivers of spring onion and shiitake mushrooms at one end of the beef slice.

4. Starting at the end with the onions and mushrooms, roll up the beef slice and secure it with a wooden cocktail stick. Roll in the cornflour and place on a platter.

5. Repeat to make the rest of the beef rolls. Reserve the remaining marinade.

6. Make the cooking sauce by mixing together the water, dashi stock powder, soy sauce, spring onions, sugar and cornflour with the reserved marinade.

7. In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over a high heat. Add the beef rolls and pan-fry on all sides for 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat then pour in the sauce mixture. Simmer the rolls for 8-10 minutes until the sauce becomes glazed.

8. Remove the cocktail sticks from the rolls. Cut the rolls in half and serve warm. If desired, serve a beaten egg in a sauce bowl for each person and invite guests to dip each bite into the beaten egg.
