Step 1
Season the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Season the cooked sushi rice with rice vinegar and salt. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 3
Julienne the cucumber, carrot, and pickled radish into thin, even strips.
Step 4
Blanch spinach for 1 minute, drain, squeeze dry, and season with sesame oil, salt, and garlic.
Step 5
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 6
In the same skillet, cook 2 beaten eggs as thin omelets, one at a time. Let cool and slice into strips.
Step 7
Place a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread 1 cup rice evenly over nori, leaving a 0.5-inch border at the top.
Step 8
Arrange bulgogi beef, egg strips, cucumber, carrot, radish, and spinach in horizontal lines across the rice.
Step 9
Roll tightly using the mat, sealing the seam with water. Repeat with the second nori sheet.
Step 10
Slice each roll into 6–8 pieces with a wet, sharp knife. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
