Ingredients
  

  • 200 g enoki mushrooms trimmed and separated into small bundles
  • 400 g thinly sliced beef hotpot-style slices work best
  • 1 medium yellow onion – thinly sliced
  • 2 large eggs – lightly whisked
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil avocado, canola, or vegetable oil) – for sautéing
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ginger grated or finely minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce base of savory sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin adds mild sweetness
  • 1 tbsp cooking sake adds depth and aroma
  • 1/4 cup dashi stock creates umami broth base
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar balances salty-sweet flavor
  • 2 tbsp water helps adjust sauce consistency
  • 1 scallion chopped, for garnish
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or pan (11–12 inch)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs or chopsticks

Method
 

  1. Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms and separate them into small even bundles, then set aside while you prep the beef.
  2. Lay thin beef slices flat and tightly wrap each piece around a bundle of enoki mushrooms, forming compact rolls.
  3. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, sake, dashi stock, sugar, garlic, ginger, and water until well combined.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté sliced onions until slightly softened and fragrant.
  5. Place beef enoki rolls over the onions in a single layer and pour the prepared sauce evenly over them.
  6. Cover and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the beef turns mostly cooked and the mushrooms soften.
  7. Slowly pour whisked eggs over the pan and cook covered for 1–2 minutes until just set and silky.
  8. Remove from heat, garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve hot over steamed rice.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the beef—remove it while slightly pink to keep it tender and juicy.
  • Roll the beef tightly so the enoki mushrooms don’t fall apart during simmering.
  • For deeper flavor, let the sauce simmer uncovered for the last minute to slightly reduce and glaze the rolls.
