Ingredients
 
 

  • 8 asparagus spears
  • 8 slices thin-cut bacon, sliced in half (If available, Japanese-style bacon with a tender texture is recommended.)
  • 1 Tbsp sake
  • pinch of ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Trim the tough ends of asparagus by about ⅘ inch (2cm), then cut the stalks into thirds. If the asparagus skins are tough, peel them.
  • Place three pieces of asparagus on a slice of bacon and roll them up. Secure the end of each bacon slice with a toothpick to prevent it from falling apart. Repeat this process with all the asparagus and bacon.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Once the pan is hot, add the bacon wrapped asparagus and sauté over medium heat. When they are browned, flip them over and cook on all sides.
  • Add sake to the pan, cover with a lid, and let it steam over low heat for a few minutes until the asparagus becomes tender.
  • Turn off the heat, remove the lid, and sprinkle black pepper over the bacon wrapped asparagus.

Notes

  • You can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
