Enoki Bacon (Recipe) えのきのベーコン巻き (レシピ)
This is my favorite food that my mom cooks at home. At my home, we eat it with ponzu sauce which is a citrus-based sauce. It is very tasty and refreshing, so please try it out in this way if you have never tried it! It’s a great recipe for bento, too 
In this tutorial, I use Lékué (pronounced LAY-KWAY) Silicone Steam Case. Lékué is unique because it is made from 100% pure food-grade platinum silicone, built to exceed FDA standards. It’s microwave, freezer, dishwasher and oven safe up to 260C (500F) degrees. It costs about 50 bucks in Japan but becoming very popular these days. Another popular product released this year (in 2011) is jelly ponzu (のっけてジュレ ぽん酢). Jelly ponzu can be spread on anything while traditional ponzu runs over. Of course you can use ready-made ponzu, or I will show you how to make ponzu sauce from scratch. ——————————— Enoki Bacon Difficulty: Very Easy Time: 10min Number of servings: 2-4 Necessary Equipment: microwavable cookware OR oven safe cookware Ingredients: 200g (7oz.) enokitake (enoki mushrooms) 4 bacon strips A * 1 tbsp. lemon juice * 1 tbsp. soy sauce Directions: 1.
