Veggie Pork Wraps

This is a delicious combination of green onions, carrots, and enoki mushrooms wrapped with thin pork slices. The seasoning is simply garlic salt and black pepper. Its a simple dish that goes well with a bowl of rice. Full of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin E, folate, manganese, beta-carotene, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, iron, potassium, copper, niacin, protein, and fiber. This is an excellent dish for all those meat lovers who need a little veggie in their lives. The crispness of the carrots and the green onions goes well with the soft crunch of the enoki mushrooms.

Some other health facts I want to mention and I believe a lot of us knows about are..
- carrots have beta-carotene which serves as an antioxidant and help reduce the risk in getting cancer
- green onions are helpful like all other onions in preventing blood clots and lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- enoki mushrooms like most mushrooms serve as great source of fibers and great items for dieting as a low calorie food.
- pork meat is a great protein source filled with vitamins, and particularly in Japan, it is cheaper compared to beef.


In order to make this dish, you need...
100 grams of thin slices of pork (roughly 8 slices)
1 stalk of Japanese green onions
2 carrots (cut into 1 inch sticks)
1 package of enoki mushrooms (pulled apart into small bunches)

Wash and prepare all ingredients for wrapping. On a clean cutting board, lay out the pork slices out and put the mushrooms, carrots, and green onions in the middle. Wrap the veggies tightly so they don't fall apart and put aside.

Heat up a frying pan. I use a mixture of oils which is canola and chili oil. Add some slices of garlic for flavor, and once a nice aroma is clear and present, place the wraps onto the pan. As it cooks, season with garlic salt and black pepper according to your taste buds. As soon as the wraps looks ready, transfer to a plate and enjoy with rice.

Soysauce and mirin (sweet cooking wine)
