Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 8 asparagus spears
- 8 slices thin, Japanese-style bacon (similar to ham), cut in half
- 1 Tbsp sake
- a pinch of ground black pepper
Instructions
- Trim the tough ends of the asparagus by about ⅔ inch (2 cm), then cut the stalks in half or into thirds.
- Place two or three pieces of asparagus on a slice of bacon and roll it up. Secure the end of each bacon slice with a toothpick to keep it from falling apart. Repeat this process with all the asparagus and bacon.
- Heat oil in a pan and sauté the bacon wrapped asparagus over medium heat. Once browned, flip them over and cook the other side.
- Add sake to the pan, cover with a lid, and let it steam over low heat for a few minutes until the asparagus is tender.
- 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.
