| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1. Prepare Vegetables | Slice cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Sauté carrot lightly with a pinch of salt. Blanch spinach in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, rinse with cold water, squeeze, and season with garlic, sesame oil, and fish sauce. Prepare quick-pickled purple cabbage with vinegar, sugar, and a little salt. |
| 2. Cook the Egg | Beat the egg and make a thin omelet. Slice into long strips for rolling. |
| 3. Season the Beef | Marinate beef short plate with soy sauce, fish sauce, honey (or sugar), and gochujang. Stir-fry with onion until cooked and slightly caramelized. |
| 4. Prepare the Rice | Mix warm rice with mayonnaise and a little salt until well combined. This will give the rice a creamy texture and mild flavor. |
| 5. Assemble the Roll | Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo mat. Spread rice evenly, leaving a small edge uncovered. Arrange beef, spinach, egg, carrot, cucumber, and pickled cabbage neatly in the center. |
| 6. Roll and Serve | Roll tightly using the mat, then slice with a knife coated in a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Serve in bite-sized pieces and enjoy! |
