A yakitori classic! Grilled and skewered, enoki mushrooms wrapped in bacon is one very popular dish you’ll find in all yakitori bars in Japan. Though I love these chewy mushroom rolls, sometimes I find them hard to eat because of the amount of enoki used – too much of it takes forever to chew on! So I’m using less for my take on this classic Japanese recipe, and working in a variation of veggies: Orange bell peppers and scallions for today. I’m also using an oven and no skewers since I don’t own a grill.

Description
A delicious yakitori recipe made of vegetables and enoki wrapped in salty bacon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices bacon, sliced in half widthwise
- 2 green onions, sliced into quarters
- 1/2 bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 package enoki mushrooms, root trimmed and mushrooms pulled apart
- Tonkatsu sauce or soy sauce, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Lay parchment paper or aluminum paper on a sheet tray.
- On a chopping board, cut the bacon in half and separate the slices.
- Lay one slice of bacon down and put another one on top, about 1/3 lower than the bottom one.
- On one end of the bacon slices, lay a slice of bell pepper, green onion, and a few strands of enoki mushrooms.
- Roll and wrap the bacon around the vegetables. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
- *This step is optional* – Brush a little barbecue sauce or soy over the bacon, on both sides.
- Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes, until bacon is well cooked.
- Take out of the oven and put the bacon wraps in a pan over high heat. Cook until bacon is a little charred and slightly crispy (2-3 minutes). Serve.
Notes
These bacon wrapped vegetables are better eaten fresh. For leftovers, wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
