Preparation

1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2.
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has slightly thickened. Set aside.
3.
Trim the roots of the enoki mushrooms and separate them into small bundles.
4.
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel.
5.
Wet your hands with water and spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a small border at the top.
6.
Place a bundle of enoki mushrooms horizontally on the rice, near the bottom edge of the nori sheet.
7.
Roll the nori sheet tightly, using the sushi mat or towel to help you. Moisten the top border of the nori sheet with water to seal the roll.
8.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets, rice, and enoki mushrooms.
9.
Brush the rolls with the teriyaki glaze, reserving some for serving.
10.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolls in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
11.
Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
12.
Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
13.
Serve the Enoki Maki with Teriyaki Glaze, drizzled with the reserved teriyaki glaze and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Tips & Tricks

For added flavor, you can marinate the enoki mushrooms in the teriyaki glaze for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
If you prefer a crispier texture, you can deep-fry the rolls instead of baking them.
Experiment with different toppings such as sliced green onions or pickled ginger for added freshness.
