Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash and prepare all the vegetables. Slice the green onion into large julienne strips. (Chef Baek sliced them diagonally, but you can cut them to your preference.)
Step 2
Trim the base of the enoki mushrooms and separate them into individual strands.
Step 3
Slice the king oyster mushroom into julienne strips, similar in length to the enoki mushrooms.
Step 4
Remove the woody ends of the enoki mushrooms and separate them into clusters.
Step 5
Remove the stem from the shiitake mushroom and thinly slice it. (If using dried shiitake mushrooms, soak them in lukewarm water until softened before slicing.)
Step 6
Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly and drain them. About 2 handfuls should be sufficient.
Step 7
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin julienne strips. Carrots add color, so feel free to adjust the amount or omit them based on your preference.
Step 8
Peel the onion and slice it into thin julienne strips as well.
Step 9
Combine all the prepared vegetables in a large bowl. Having them all in one place makes seasoning easier.
Step 10
Lightly season the vegetables. Sprinkle about 4 shakes of black pepper for added aroma.
Step 11
Add 2/3 tablespoon of sugar. The sweetness should be subtle, enhancing the natural flavors of the ingredients.
Step 12
Add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. This light seasoning helps to bring out the overall taste of the vegetables.
Step 13
Now, it’s time to mix. Gently toss the vegetables to avoid mashing them. It’s important to maintain the crisp texture of the vegetables.
Step 14
Let’s start making the beef brisket rolls. Lay one slice of beef brisket flat. Place a moderate amount of the seasoned vegetable mixture in the center. (Chef Baek mentioned that thinly sliced bulgogi beef can also be used instead of brisket.)
Step 15
Lightly dust the top and bottom surfaces of the beef brisket with a thin layer of flour. This helps the ingredients stick together, making rolling easier and preventing the rolls from unraveling during cooking.
Step 16
Starting from one end, tightly roll up the beef brisket with the vegetables inside. Avoid overfilling, as this can make it difficult to roll neatly.
Step 17
Continue this process with the remaining beef brisket and vegetables until all rolls are neatly formed.
Step 18
Now, let’s prepare the delicious dipping sauce for the rolls. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to a bowl.
Step 19
Pour in 1/2 cup of water (using a standard paper cup) and whisk until the peanut butter is smooth.
Step 20
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar for sweetness.
Step 21
Add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce for a savory umami flavor.
Step 22
Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar for a touch of tanginess, balancing the flavors.
Step 23
Generously add 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds for a nutty aroma and taste.
Step 24
Finally, add 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic to enhance the flavor. (If you don’t have minced garlic, you can use finely chopped garlic.)
Step 25
Blend all the sauce ingredients using a blender or immersion blender until smooth. Your special dipping sauce, perfect with the beef brisket rolls, is now ready! Its creamy and savory flavor is exceptional.
Step 26
Now it’s time to steam the beef brisket rolls. Fill a pot with plenty of water and place a steamer basket on top once the water comes to a rolling boil. It’s crucial to steam only after the water has started boiling vigorously to ensure the ingredients don’t become tough.
Step 27
Arrange the beef brisket rolls in the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the heat. The rolls are cooked when the exterior of the beef has changed color and appears cooked, indicating that the vegetables inside are also tender. Turn off the heat once the beef is cooked.
Step 28
Dip the warm, steamed beef brisket rolls generously into the special peanut sauce and enjoy! The combination of chewy beef, crisp vegetables, and the rich, savory sauce is absolutely delightful. Happy cooking!
