The preparation:
-
Gather all your ingredients and wash the vegetables.
-
If you like, peel the vegetables and then cut them into bite-sized pieces. If you prefer to eat them with the skin on, that's fine too.
-
Cut the meat into thin, long pieces. You should be able to wrap it around the vegetables two or three times later.
-
If you are using unseasoned pork instead of bacon, season it now with salt and pepper.
-
Now wrap the meat around the vegetables and start rolling it up like sushi. Once you're done, put some starch on the Niku Maki.
-
Heat oil in a pan and fry the Niku Maki on all sides.
-
It tastes especially good if you add soy sauce, mirin and sake to the Niku Maki in the pan and let them cook for one minute with the lid closed.
-
If you want to save a few calories, or don't like fatty food so much, place the finished Niku Maki on a piece of kitchen paper. It absorbs the excess oil.
-
Now the Niku Maki are ready and you can serve them garnished with a lemon or lime.

Niku Maki are especially delicious with miso soup and rice. But they are also great as a snack in the Bento box, as they keep well and are really delicious even cold!
