Asparagus and Bacon Roll - Is that Italian or Asian?
The Italians have a “prochiutto with cheese wrapped in grilled asparagus” recipe. The Asian twist to that is wrap the asparagus in bacon and grill them together!
Chinese are creative in their own way, don’t you agree?
Ingredients:
- 4 strips bacon
- 16 stalks asparagus
Method:
1. Pre-soak 16 wooden toothpicks in water for about 20-30 minutes to prevent them from burning when placed in the oven. I did not have toothpicks, so I used short wooden skewers and cut them into shorter lengths.
2. Cut each bacon strip into 4 pieces of equal length, to get a total of 16 short pieces.
3. Cut off the dry end of the asparagus and then cut them into thirds.
4. Wrap the asparagus in bacon and secure with toothpick.
5. Place the asparagus and bacon roll onto the “grilling tray” instead of just the baking sheet to allow the oil to drip from the bacon.
6. When the bacon turns golden brown and crisp, remove from the oven and place them on paper towels to soak up excess oil.
Enjoy!

Bacon is almost impossible to find in China and asparagus is not that common, either. What makes you think this is Chinese.

Does a recipe need to come from China in order for it to be Chinese? I am not claiming authentic Chinese cuisines here.
