Asparagus and Pork Flower Rollups

I wanted to make lots of flowers for a sports festival bento.

After putting a lid on in Step 5, roll the rolls around in the frying pan occasionally. When making the rollups, make sure to arrange the aspargus evenly as you would a sushi roll, so that the cut cross section will look like a flower. It's easier to make pretty and colorful rolls if you use raw asparagus stalks. This recipe used to say use thin asparagus, but discovered that regular sized asparagus works better so I edited the recipe. For 6 to 8 pieces. Recipe by Marugo-ru

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Chop a few centimeters off the root ends of the asparagus stalks. Peel the tougher stalk parts with a vegetable peeler. Cut the carrot into long, thin pieces the same length as the asparagus, and boil briefly.

    Layer the pork slices side by side with a 1 cm overlap. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    Place 3 asparagus stalks on the pork. Place a piece of carrot and 2 more asparagus stalks on top. Dust everything with flour, and roll up with the carrot in the center.

  4. 4

    When it's rolled up, dust the whole thing again with flour.

  5. 5

    Heat some oil in a frying pan and place the roll in seam side down. When it's browned on the bottom, turn it over, cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add the soy sauce and mirin to the pan and coat the roll with it.

  7. 7

    Cool and cut into pieces of your desired thickness. The cut cross section look like this.
