Bacon Asparagus Rolls
A home-style dish of asparagus wrapped in bacon and pan-fried until crisp and tender.
Ingredients
Asparagus (cut off the tough ends, cut into segments)
Bacon (cut into segments)
Garlic (minced)
Oil
Salt (for blanching)
a pinch
Instructions
1
Prep
Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus, then cut into 5–6 cm long segments (the length should let both ends peek out when wrapped in bacon); mince the garlic and set aside.
2
Blanch
Bring a pot of water to a boil, sprinkle in a pinch of salt, drop in the asparagus and blanch until just tender, then remove and drain for later use.
3
Wrap
Cut the bacon into segments, wrap 2–3 asparagus spears inside each piece, and pierce through the bacon and asparagus with a toothpick to hold them together.
4
Pan-fry
Heat the pan over fire and warm the oil, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the prepared bacon asparagus rolls, spread them out evenly, and fry out the bacon fat. Once both sides are lightly charred, the dish is ready to serve.
