About the Recipe
This recipe was suggested to me by one of my followers - Carolina from France - it is a delicious combination of the umami flavour of enoki mushrooms wrapped in the salty flavours of good streaky bacon, drenched in a sweet honey and soy sauce - simple and fast foodie heaven.
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
Preparation
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
