Asupara Bacon Maki

This is my favorite appetizer from Teriyaki Boy. We usually order two sets for our family of four :) It’s both healthy because of the green asparagus and yummy but bad for the tummy because of the bacon. We would not be needing a colon cleanser I think because we somehow balance it out. :)

I actually want to try this at home. I chanced upon this blog post and wonder if it will taste good with spam in it.

Here are the ingredients and steps:
belly bacon
baby asparagus
Spam
enoki mushooms
cooking oil for frying (very minimal if you use a non-stick pan)

Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for about 5 seconds. Drain. I suggest you put them in iced water after draining to refresh them.

Cut the root ends of the enoki mushrooms and blanch them in boiling water as well.

Cut the spam into strips about 1/2″x1/2″x3″.

Take a strip of Spam, a couple of asparagus and some enoki mushrooms and wrap them with a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.

Heat a little cooking oil in a frying pan and fry the rolls, in batches if necessary, until the bacon is crisp and nicely browned. Serve at once.
