Instructions

1.	Grate the gingerroot to obtain 2 teaspoons and mix with soy sauce and mirin.
2.	Slice the beef as thinly as possible, then cut the slices into 1/2 inch width and mix in the marinade. Set aside for 10 minutes.
3.	Heat up a frying pan and add the vegetable oil. When the pan is hot, cook the beef slices until they are browned and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
4.	Rinse and pat dry the lettuce and mountain burdock root. Cut the root into thin slices.
5.	Place a lettuce leaf on a sushi mat or a piece of plastic wrap. Top with a tablespoon of sushi rice, then a slice of beef and some burdock root slices. Roll tightly and fold in the sides to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
