Japanese Rumaki, a delectable appetizer or party snack, combines the flavors of tender chicken, savory bacon, and a sweet-savory teriyaki glaze. This dish is believed to have originated from Hawaii, where it gained popularity in the mid-20th century and later spread worldwide. The name "Rumaki" originates from the Japanese word "Tsukune," a type of chicken meatball, and the English word "maki," meaning "roll." Its preparation involves wrapping a strip of bacon around a juicy chicken liver, securing it with a toothpick, and then coating it in a delectable teriyaki sauce. The resulting dish is a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, with the chicken liver's richness complemented by the smoky bacon and the tangy-sweet teriyaki glaze.

RUMAKI RECIPE - BACON WRAPPED



Rumaki Recipe - Bacon Wrapped image

Simple, but elegant easy holiday appetizer that will become your family favorite.

Provided by Steven Pennington

Categories     Holiday Appetizer     Holiday-Party-Game Day Appetizer

Time 33m

Number Of Ingredients 19

24 livers Chicken Livers
Bacon - Thin Strips (Cut in half lengthwise )
1 cup Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
½ Tablespoon Minced Ginger
1 teaspoon Chopped Garlic
24 sliced Water ChestNuts
Daikon Radish (Sliced)
Beef Tenderloin (cubed)
Cantaloupe (cubed)
Honeydew Melon (cubed)
Dates (whole)
Pickled Watermelon (cubed)
pinch Cayenne Pepper (optional)
1 cup Teriyaki Sauce
1 cup Hoisin Sauce
1 cup Grape Jelly w/ Chipotle in Adobo Sauce
1 cup BBQ Sauce
1 cup Maple Syrup

Steps:

  • Clean/remove as much excess from the livers as possible while keeping the livers as "Large" as possible.
  • Cutaway pieces that do not look like something you'd like to eat. Use a small knife and make small cuts where needed trying to keep the liver in tactic.
  • Combine the soy sauce, chopped garlic, brown sugar, and chopped ginger into a large bowl.Add the livers to the marinate. Place into the refrigerator for one hour.
  • Slice the bacon in half lengthwise. You do not want to use too much bacon or the cooking time will be longer. Which risks overcooking the livers or beef, or chicken.Cutting the bacon strips in half will make it easy to wrap each chicken liver tightly.
  • Lay one piece of bacon flat on a cutting board. Take a slice of water chestnut and place it at one end of the bacon strip. Add a piece of liver on top of the water chestnut. Tip: Add small slices of jalapeno
  • Next, roll the bacon starting at the end with the liver and roll the bacon on top of itself. No rules on how you wrap. Another option is wrapping the bacon in circles all around the liver.Secure with toothpicks
  • Place the rumaki on a cookie sheet. Or, I like using a wire rack so the rumaki isn't touching the cookie sheet. It helps crisp things up nicely.Bake @ 375 for 15 to 20 minutes
  • Add the glaze of choice after cooking. Use a paintbrush or spoon to cover.
  • Then place the rumaki back into the oven for 3 to 5 minutes to set the glaze.

RUMAKI



Rumaki image

Rumaki first became popular during the "Tiki Bar" era of the mid-20th century -- a trend that managed to stick around for decades, because trends used to be able to do that. Nowadays food trends can last for mere hours, but with enough support we can bring rumaki back into the spotlight for weeks, or maybe even months! After all, a dish that's this good is never really out of style.
