-About the recipe-
Thinly sliced asparagus pork belly roll is a vegetable side dish made by wrapping asparagus in pork belly and grilling it. In this recipe by Chef Takashi Tamura, asparagus is lightly dusted with flour, then wrapped in pork belly and grilled. For the sauce, combine dark soy sauce, sake, and sugar to blend the flavors well. By turning off the heat and grilling again, the sauce will melt and the flavor will come out. Finishing off with a topping of tree buds creates a flavorful dish.
This asparagus grilled pork belly roll is a great combination of pork and asparagus, and the deliciousness of the pork and the refreshing flavor of the asparagus harmonize perfectly. Roasting it adds aroma and whets the appetite. Please enjoy it as a side dish or main dish for a bento box.
