1. Sauté the meat and roughly chopped carrot, and add the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar..

3. These are egoma leaves. They are a little bigger and thicker than shiso leaves..
4. Add a little salt to boiled water, and parboil the egoma leaves for 1-2 minutes. They will become too soft if you boil them for too long, so parboil them briefly..
5. To prevent them from discoloring, blanch in cold water after parboiling..
6. Drain the leaves, and wring them tightly in your hands. They are quite tough, so don't worry -- just wring them as tightly as you can..
7. Add the meat mixture from Step 2 and sesame oil to the cooked rice..
8. Spread out the egoma leaf, taking care not to tear it, and wrap a rice ball inside. Trim off the stems..
9. This is how they turn out. They make bite-sized pieces..
