Instructions
1
Prep
Season the beef strips with a pinch of salt. Set the carrot, spinach, and pickled radish on a tray ready for rolling.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef strips for 2 minutes, turning once, until browned and no longer pink inside.
3
Beat the egg, then cook it in the skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes into a thin sheet, flipping once until just set. Slice into strips.
4
Toss the julienned carrot in the same skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until slightly softened but still crisp.
5
Toss the warm sushi rice with 1.5 tsp sesame oil, sesame seeds, and salt until evenly coated and glossy.
6
Lay the nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo mat and spread the seasoned rice in an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
7
Arrange the beef, egg strips, crab, carrot, spinach, and pickled radish in a line across the lower third of the rice.
8
Roll the mat firmly away from you into a tight cylinder, using the bare nori border to seal the seam.
9
Let the roll sit seam-side down for 10 minutes so the seal sets before cutting.
10
Brush the remaining 1/2 tsp sesame oil over the outside of the roll for sheen.
11
Plate
Slice the roll into 8 discs with a sharp knife and arrange on a plate with soy sauce for dipping.
