Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients to make delicious Enoki Mushroom and Bacon Rolls. Fresh enoki mushrooms and good quality bacon are key to the dish’s flavor.
Step 2
It’s important to trim the enoki mushrooms properly. Cut off about 5cm from the base, then separate the mushrooms into strands that match the number of bacon slices. If they’re too thick, they’ll be difficult to cook evenly, so loosening them up a bit is recommended.
Step 3
Prepare the bacon slices to a size that’s easy to roll with the enoki mushrooms. Typically, cutting a bacon strip in half to about 10cm in length works well for forming neat rolls.
Step 4
Now it’s time to start rolling! Place a suitable amount of enoki mushroom strands onto a prepared bacon slice. Then, tightly roll the bacon around the mushrooms. The key is to roll them firmly so the enoki mushrooms don’t come apart.
Step 5
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a heated pan. The butter will add a rich, nutty flavor, making the rolls even more delicious. Melt it gently over medium-low heat.
Step 6
Once the butter is melted, carefully place the enoki mushroom and bacon rolls into the pan. Make sure to position them with the seam side down on the pan. This will help prevent the bacon from unrolling as they cook.
Step 7
Cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy on all sides. The bacon fat will render, gently cooking the enoki mushrooms and infusing them with its savory flavor. Cook slowly to ensure even browning on all surfaces.
Step 8
For the garnish, wash the baby greens thoroughly about three times in cold water. After washing, drain them well in a colander to remove excess water. This prevents the dish from becoming diluted.
Step 9
Arrange the warm, freshly cooked Enoki Mushroom and Bacon Rolls attractively on a plate. Place the drained baby greens alongside. Finish with a sprinkle of parsley flakes and Parmesan cheese, if desired. This simple yet incredibly flavorful dish is perfect as an appetizer or a side dish. Enjoy!
