Bacon-Wrapped AsparagusPosted on March 21st, 2007 · Post a comment »
Maki Recipes
Every once in a while, I’ll be making something aside from sushi (yes, I do cook aside from sushi! 
) and think, “hey, this might taste good in a maki roll!” Actually, Son said that, but it still resulted in a great tasting roll! I make bacon-wrapped asparagus every now and then, because Son loves it (as do I) and it’s a delicious way to get more vegetables (of course the bacon doesn’t cancel it out! Hehe.) …so if you just want to make bacon-wrapped asparagus, discard the sushi-making parts of the recipe. 
Sorry I have been almost completely absent lately… I’m in the middle of finals week right now, so I have had time for absolutely nothing aside from studying and writing papers! Ugh. I can’t wait to be done, but unfortunately I still have a couple of years to go before I graduate. Well, wish me lick for my last two finals! And if I don’t respond to your comments very quickly don’t despair, I’ll be back next week!
Makes 6 rolls, or 36-48 slices.
Ingredients
Cooking Directions
- Cook sushi rice.
- Wash the asparagus.
- Cut off the bottom inch of the asparagus, and cut the remaining stalk into 3 inch pieces (you should get about two of these pieces from each stalk).
- Cut each slice of bacon in half. Roll each piece of asparagus in a slice of bacon.
- Put the bacon-wrapped asparagus in a frying pan over medium-high heat, and cook on all sides so the bacon is crispy.
- Roll the sushi. For your fillings, use 3 or 4 of the bacon-wrapped asparagus.
- Serve and enjoy!

Dear Allison!
Greetings!
I’ always loved green asparaguses in sushi! They’re great on a nigiri wit a few dried bonito shavings and a drop of shoyu (on top!)
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles
