Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil glass noodles in salted water for 6 minutes until tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and cut into 2-inch lengths.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 0.5 tbsp sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef in a single layer, stirring once halfway, until browned, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 2 tbsp soy sauce to the beef and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate and cool slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Toss cooked noodles with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 0.5 tbsp sesame oil. Season carrot and cucumber with salt to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Place nori shiny-side down on a bamboo mat. Spread 0.5 cup rice in a thin layer, leaving a 0.5-inch border at the top.

  6. Step 6

    Layer beef, noodles, carrot, and cucumber in a horizontal line across the rice. Roll tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with water.

  7. Step 7

    Slice each roll into 8 pieces with a sharp wet knife. Arrange on a plate and drizzle with remaining sesame oil.
