As exotic as the name might sound, this delicious side dish only requires literally those few main ingredients – Miso, Enoki mushrooms and Bacon.
Servings 12 blankets
Calories 72kcal
Ingredients
- 12 Bacon streaks , unsmoked
- 230 g Enoki mushrooms , roots trimmed
- 3 tbsp Miso paste
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tbsp Sake (optional)
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Rinse and drain the trimmed enoki mushrooms with a strainer. Gently pat dry with a kitchen towel. Put the mushrooms into a bowl or a container. With your hands, lightly rub the miso paste, mirin, sugar and sake into the mushrooms. Cover with cling film or a container lid and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour. You can leave this overnight. *
- Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius. Line a large baking tray with aluminium foil.
- Set the mushrooms on and perpendicular to the bacon streak slices. Roll up into tight cylinders and secure with toothpicks. Season with pepper.
- Roast the blankets in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is browned and crisp. Drain the bundles on paper towels, remove the toothpicks and serve. Or keep the toothpicks on for the "appetizer look". :)
Notes
* would recommend to marinate under 12 hours as the mushrooms may become too soft.
