Enoki bacon maki


Bacon-wrapped vegetables seemed to be a common dish when I go Japanese restaurants for meals. The other day I had left over bacon from my breakfast so decided to make enoki bacon maki essentially enoki mushrooms wrapped with bacon. I think this dish can go with or without sauce but since my husband loves sauce, I made a simple one below.


Ingredients
4 pieces of Bacon
1 pack of Enoki mushrooms
Some butter or oil
Salt
Pepper

Sauce
Oyster sauce
Soy sauce
Sugar
Garlic powder

Recipe
1. Cut off the bottom part of Enoki mushrooms and divide the pack  into 8 portions.
2. Take 4 pieces of bacon and cut them into equal halves.
3. Place 1 stack of mushrooms on the edge of the bacon (nearer to you) and roll the bacon to wrap it up. Press the mushroom a little to wrap it tight. Repeat for the rest of the bacon and mushrooms. Put a little salt and pepper when you finish wrapping.
4. Put a little butter (or oil) on a heated sauce pan and put in the enoki bacon maki. I did 4 at a time to better control the cooking.
5. Cook till it is slightly brown (about 3 minutes) then turn it to the other side. During the cooking, cover the saucepan from time to time so that the mushrooms can be cooked. Arrange them
on the plate.
6. If you prefer some sauce, you can prepare a simple one like mine. Just water and add some oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar with some garlic powder. Heat till boiling and thicken with cornstarch solution. Drizzle on the maki and it's done.


My husband didn't quite fancy this dish in the end as it is a mouthful to eat. Lol Maybe enoki fans will like it. lol
