Ingredients
- 1 package fresh enoki mushrooms
- 6 slices bacon
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
- A little cooking oil (for the pan)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the enoki mushrooms. Trim the root ends of the enoki mushrooms with a knife. Rinse them thoroughly under cool running water. Gently shake off excess water or pat them dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to prevent splattering oil and ensure the mushrooms cook up nicely.
Step 2
Cut the bacon slices into manageable pieces. If the bacon strips are very long, you might want to cut them in half or thirds, depending on their length, to match the size of the enoki mushrooms. This makes them easier to wrap and ensures a good bite-size portion.
Step 3
Now, let’s start rolling! Take a piece of prepared bacon and place a bundle of enoki mushrooms on top. Tightly wrap the bacon around the enoki mushrooms, ensuring it’s secure so the mushrooms don’t unravel during cooking.
Step 4
To make them easy to eat, it’s best to roll them into bite-sized portions. Avoid making the rolls too large, as they can be difficult to handle. Aim for a size that fits comfortably in one bite for optimal enjoyment.
Step 5
Bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms are best enjoyed fresh off the pan. If you’re preparing them ahead of time for dinner or guests, you can complete the wrapping process and refrigerate them. This allows for quick cooking right before serving, making it a very convenient option.
Step 6
Lightly grease a pan with a small amount of cooking oil over medium heat. Place the bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms seam-side down first to help them hold their shape as they begin to cook.
Step 7
Cook over medium heat, turning the rolls frequently to ensure even cooking. Start by searing the seam side down, then gently roll them around the pan to brown all sides. This technique helps the bacon crisp up beautifully and prevents the rolls from falling apart.
Step 8
Continue to roll and cook the bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, and the enoki mushrooms are tender. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy bacon and tender, flavorful enoki mushrooms. The chewy texture and rich aroma make these a truly satisfying treat!
