Easy Japanese Enoki Beef Rolls

These Easy Enoki Beef Rolls would have to be one of the most moreish Japanese appetisers we’ve ever eaten. Tender marinated beef meets chewy enoki mushrooms in these bite sized morsels that are guaranteed to disappear the instant they hit the table.

I have such a soft spot in my heart for these Enoki Beef Rolls. They bring a smile to my face, and a growl to my stomach, every time I think of them.

And it’s not just because they are can’t-get-enough-of-these-melt-in-your-mouth-bites that are smothered in soy + ginger + garlic deliciousness.

Although that’s definitely a big part of it…

No, the real reason I grin is because they were one of the very first dishes that Sarah and I ever cooked together.

Yep, this innocent little kitchen experiment ignited a whole new culinary caper that started in our kitchen and grew into to a wandering escapade around the world.

Ingredients

• 400 g thin sliced beef strips
• 200 g enoki mushrooms
• 1 clove garlic finely chopped
• 1 cm ginger finely chopped
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cooking sake
• 1 tbsp mirin
• Pinch sea salt
• Sesame oil

Instructions

1. Combine the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sake and mirin along with 1 tbsp sesame sauce in a shallow dish.
2. Place beef slices into dish and coat evenly in the marinade. Place in fridge for half an hour minimum.
3. Meanwhile, slice the roots off of the enoki, leaving enough at the bottom so the mushrooms are still stuck together. Break into small sections and place into a bowl of lukewarm water. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and let sit for 10 -15 minutes to add flavour. Drain.
