REFRIGERATED:
- butter. 125g unsalted butter, straight from fridge is fine since we are going to melt it in a pan.
- bacon. 12 slices regular bacon. I don’t suggest using maple flavored ones since the sauce is already a bit sweet.
PRODUCE:
- enoki mushrooms. You’ll need about 250g of enoki mushrooms. Substitute with asparagus or green beans.
PANTRY:
- brown sugar. 53g (ΒΌ cup, packed) of brown sugar
- soy sauce. Β½ tablespoon of soy sauce
- spices. ΒΌΒ teaspoonΒ garlic powder and ΒΌΒ teaspoonΒ ground black pepper
How To Make It
- Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Cut the roots off the enoki mushrooms and divide them into 12 small bundles.
- Wrap each bundle with a slice of bacon, placing the seam at the bottom when you lay them in a shallow baking dish.
- Make the Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper. Allow the mixture to boil over medium heat, stirring once or twice just to ensure that the ingredients are mixed evenly. It is not necessary wait for the sugar to dissolve. If you love a spicier kick, add chili flakes!
- Pour and Bake:
- Pour the mixture over the bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, making sure that each piece has been coated with sauce. Bake until bacon is fully cooked and sauce has been reduced, about 20-25 minutes.


Pro Tips
- Enoki mushrooms are small, thin-stemmed mushrooms with tiny caps. They are relatively soft and has a mild earthy taste. If you can’t find them, you can easily substitute with fresh asparagus or even green beans!
- Enoki mushrooms tend to wilt and shrink once they are cooked, so don’t scrimp on the amount of mushrooms that you are going to wrap with each bacon slice.
- I suggest using regular bacon (not the maple flavored ones) as the sauce is already bit sweet.
- Vegetarian option: Swap the bacon with thinly sliced zucchini or eggplant strips and follow the same cooking method.

pan-fried the bacon-wrapped enoki (instead of baking it in the oven to save time π) before incorporating it with the PERFECT SAUCE, and it turned out really amazing.
thank you for this wonderful and easy to prepare dish
Yes, that PERFECT sauce makes this dish!=) I should try pan frying it too some time. Thank you, Katz, for taking the time to rate and share your recipe – it truly helps!
Just made this and love the rich drenched bubbly sauce. Used twice as much butter and crushed fresh garlic instead of garlic powder and it was crazy good!
The sauce is indeed the star of this dish! Fresh garlic – why didn’t I think of that?! I will use fresh minced garlic next time…thanks for the tip, David! π
This recipe is easy to prepare and taste fantastic! It is also very versatile as you can substitute the enoki mushroom with asparagus, carrots or any other veggies that you like. The 5 star actually goes to the sauce which made this dish our house favourite.
I’m glad you liked the recipe! π
