Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts (Rumaki) image

This recipe is slightly different from the ones already posted here on 'Zaar. It was given to me by a very dear friend who is no longer with us. Everytime I make it, I think of her. Thanks, Diane. NOTE: The size can for the water chestnuts is estimated (I don't have any in my cupboard today).

Time 1h

Yield 30-40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained (estimated can size)
1 lb lean bacon, cut in half (for easier wrapping)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/8 cup soy sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If desired, cut larger water chestnuts in half for easier eating and more pieces.
  • Soak water chestnuts in soy sauce for 15 minutes, stirring a few times to make sure they are fully coated.
  • Remove water chestnuts from soy sauce.
  • Wrap 1/2 strip of bacon around each; secure with toothpicks.
  • Reserve soy sauce.
  • Place toothpick side "up" in a 9" x 13" glass baking dish.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 30 minutes or until crispy.
  • Remove from oven; drain bacon fat.
  • Meanwhile, mix reserved soy sauce, ketchup and brown sugar in a bowl.
  • Pour the mixture over the chestnuts to coat them evenly.
  • Bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes (again checking for crispness of bacon).
  • Serve hot, with or without seafood sauce.

These were a bit greasy for my taste. I would recommend draining them on paper towels before serving.

I used turkey bacon to make these and they were still delicious. They're a great way to use up leftover bacon.

These were a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less brown sugar next time.

I didn't have any water chestnuts so I used canned bamboo shoots instead. They turned out great!

These were a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
