Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Let's face it, bacon wrapped anything tasted good. But bacon wrapped asparagus is easy to roll up with bacon, and tastes great. This is perfect for a party appetizer.

Recipe:

Bacon
Shrimps - shelled
Asparagus

1. Roast the asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper in the oven, 350 F for 10-15 min. Or just saute it for few min on high heat (faster this way).
2. Use the paper towels to ged rid of the excess oil on the asparagus and put a side.
3. Put the bacon in the microwave for 1 min, get rid of the fat. Then put a side to cool.
4. Wrap the asparagus, shrimp with bacon, use a toothpick to secure them. Once done all the wrapping, dip them in a teriyaki sauce (dilute with little water), put them on a sheet pan with rack. To let the excess teriyaki sauce dripped.
5. Once done, lay the wrap one at a time on the non-stick pan (no oil added) at medium heat and sear them until brown/charred. You can see the excess fat from the bacon will come out.

I yerned for a Mee Goreng this afternoon and I had a pack of yellow noodle in the fridge. The weather was great in the backyard, cool air and lots of sun. Perfect place for a Mee Goreng and a glass of chilled apple juice. I named it Gregg Mee Goreng, because Gregg loves it and good for lunch. Light, tasty, lots of vegetables, right portion of carb and protein. Very Malaysian feeling.

2 cloves Garlic - chopped or crushed

2 tablespoon each chopped Fresh parsley and Basil

1 tablespoon chopped Chilli or Jalapeno (optional)

1 tablespoon Oyster sauce

2 tablespoon Soy sauce

1 teaspoon Hot Sauce (can use Sri Racha)

Little sugar to taste

6. Lastly, try it out to your taste, should be a little salty, sweet and little spicy. Can add little more sugar (1/2 teaspoon) for a sweeter taste.

Note:-

Remember, you have hot sauce in the noodle, and if you want more spicy, you can add the chilli or jalapeno.

Blanching the fresh yellow noodle is to cook it al dante and to get rid of the extra starch. You can use the dry noodle, and cook it just like pasta. Also always drain and run thru a cold water to wash off starch.
