Asparagus and Pork Flower Rollups
- 6 slice Thinly sliced pork loin (or any cut of pork, as long as it's thinly sliced)
- 1 Salt and pepper
- 5 stalks Asparagus
- 1 carrot Carrot (sliced into thin long pieces)
- 1 Cake flour
- 1 Oil
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 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.
- When it's rolled up, dust the whole thing again with flour.
- 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.
- Add the soy sauce and mirin to the pan and coat the roll with it.
- Cool and cut into pieces of your desired thickness.
- The cut cross section look like this.
- The bento box is blooming with flowers.
