Recipe: Crispy Bacon Roll
-
Bacon is so unhealthy....... but I simply can't resist, especially streaky bacon. I remember years ago when I was in Las Vegas having breakfast buffet at the hotel, I ended up just snacking cripsy bacon for b'fast!
I learnt that bacon is so popular in the US that restaurants are organizing bacon & beer tasting nights etc. Commentators explained this interest in bacon by reference to what they deemed 'American cultural characteristics'.
Sarah Hepola, in a 2008 article in Salon.com, suggested a number of reasons, one of them being eating bacon in the modern, health-conscious world is an act of rebellion: "Loving bacon is like shoving a middle finger in the face of all that is healthy & holy while an unfiltered cigarette smolders between your lips". Hepola concluded by saying that "Bacon is American".
Interesting, isn't it? Today, I'd like to share with you my family's favourite bacon recipe with prawns that's smacking good :)
50g Prawns
6 slices of Streaky Bacon 2 Eggs
12 stalks of baby French beans
12 sticks of carrots
3 tbsp of corn flour
Pinch of salt & pepper to taste
1) Remove prawn heads & shells & devein. Squeeze out roe, if any. It adds flavour. Rinse & drain prawns.

3) Spread prawn mixture on bacon, then lay vegetables on top. Roll bacon tightly.
4) Coat bacon rolls with beaten eggs, then flour.
5) Heat oil & deep-fry till crispy. Remove & serve.
