This recipe comes courtesy of one of my Instagram followers - Carolina from France. It's a dish that in Japan is made with very thinly sliced pork and is called, Enoki no Niku Maki - Meat (meaning Pork in this case) Wrapped Enoki. I think that maybe Carolina's version is better - in place of the thinly sliced pork (which is quite hard to find outside of Asia,) this recipe uses rashers of streaky bacon which adds an extra, smoky depth to the flavour - if you are a mushroom lover (and have no problem eating bacon) , I suggest you try these - they really are quite scrumptious.
The recipe itself is very simple - along with the bacon and enoki mushrooms, you'll need some honey and soy sauce and that's it. I garnished the dish above with some finely sliced spring onion but that's just for a little colour contrast and you can dispense with it if you wish.
These make a great starter or a finger food at a party. They also serve well as a meat dish in a multi dish meal.
If this sounds like a recipe that you would like to try, then you can find the Youtube tutorial by clicking Bacon wrapped Enoki Mushrooms or by scrolling to the bottom of the page. The written recipe is just below.
Happy cooking! Kurumi XXXX.
ingredients:
(makes 10 enoki parcels)
10 rashers of streaky bacon
100g / 4oz enoki mushrooms, rinsed
for the sauce;
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
how to:
in a small bowl, mix the honey and soy sauce together, then set aside
next, remove the root from the rinsed enoki mushrooms. using your fingers, tear off 10 little parcels. try to keep the parcels the same size
roll each enoki parcel in a rasher of streaky bacon. make sure you cover most of the enoki stalks but leave the ends of the parcels open. make up 10 parcels
heat the vegetable oil in a medium frying pan. place the parcel with the bacon rasher end on the bottom (this will seal the wrap as the bacon cooks.) fry the parcels with the lid on for about 3 minutes or until the bacon is lightly browned.
as the bacon cooks, use a fork or chopsticks to turn the parcels over. cook for a couple of minutes until lightly browned. adjust the heat if the bacon begins to burn
keep turning the bacon parcels until they are browned all over
while the parcels are still in the pan, drizzle over the honey and soy sauce mixture. roll the parcels around to get them well coated and then turn off the heat
serve immediately
