Main Ingredients- 2 bowls cooked rice, warm
- 200g bacon, sliced into strips
- 1 bag enoki mushrooms, trimmed and separated
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 10g butter
- 4 fresh perilla leaves (shiso), thinly julienned
Flavorful Braising Sauce- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (seasoned)
- 1 tsp tuna extract
- 1 Tbsp cooking sake (mirin)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce (seasoned)
- 1 tsp tuna extract
- 1 Tbsp cooking sake (mirin)
- 1 tsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the bacon into approximately 1cm thick strips. Trim the roots off the enoki mushrooms and cut them into lengths of about 1cm. If they are clumped together, gently separate them.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt slowly, ensuring it doesn’t burn. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted and fragrant.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the sliced bacon to the pan. Cook until it becomes golden brown and slightly crispy, releasing its savory aroma. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 4
When the bacon is nicely rendered and coated with the buttery flavor, add the finely chopped green onions. Sauté for about 30 seconds until the onions become fragrant, complementing the bacon’s richness.
Step 5
Now, add the prepared enoki mushrooms to the pan. Stir-fry them with the bacon and green onions just until they begin to wilt, which should take about 1 minute. Avoid overcooking them as they cook quickly.
Step 6
Once the mushrooms are slightly softened, it’s time to add the braising sauce. Combine the soy sauce, tuna extract, cooking sake, and sugar in the pan. Stir well and let it simmer over medium-low heat for about 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly reduced and coats the ingredients beautifully.
Step 7
Serve the warm cooked rice into bowls. Spoon a generous amount of the savory bacon and enoki mushroom stir-fry over the rice. Adjust the ratio of rice to topping according to your preference.
Step 8
Finally, garnish the dish with the thinly julienned perilla leaves. The fresh, aromatic quality of the perilla leaves adds a wonderful contrast and cuts through the richness, completing this delicious Bacon and Enoki Mushroom Over Rice.
