CHICKEN SCALLION RUMAKI AND PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Toss the chicken and scallions with the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wrap each pineapple chunk in a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Arrange them on the rack set in the baking sheet.
• Wrap each piece of chicken and 2 pieces of scallion with the remaining bacon, securing each with a toothpick and arranging on the rack.
• Bake the chicken and pineapple rumaki until the bacon is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve the rumaki on a platter, sprinkled with the sesame seeds.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a nonreactive bowl.
• Add pineapple and stir.
• Let marinate 1 hour.
• Drain marinade and strain into a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil over high heat.
• Cook until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Wrap each pineapple piece with an herb sprig and a piece of bacon.
• Secure the bacon with a bamboo skewer or a wooden toothpick.
• Can be prepared several hours ahead up to this point.
• Set up grill for three-zone grilling and preheat (see intro for instructions).
• Brush and oil the grill grate.
• If using skewers, fold a length of aluminum foil in half lengthwise and place on grate on the edge closest to you, so that it covers all three heat zones. (You will not need the foil if using toothpicks; it's to keep the ends of the skewers from burning.).
• Place rumaki on hot zone. If using skewers, make sure the ends are on top of the foil shield. Do this in batches if necessary.
• Grill until bacon is crisp, 2-3 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade syrup.
• Move to medium or cool zone if the bacon fat causes flareups.
• Serve drizzled with any remaining glaze.
• If using toothpicks, be sure to take them out!

RUMAKI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, canola oil, sesame oil, reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, black pepper, garlic and grated ginger in a bowl. Add the water chestnuts and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
• Cut the pineapple chunks in half and set aside. Cut the bacon strips in half and set aside. Cut the chicken livers into 1/2-inch pieces and set aside.
• To assemble: Lay out a half strip of bacon. Put a slice of pineapple at one end, topped by a slice of water chestnut and a piece of chicken liver. Roll up the bacon and seal with a toothpick. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
• Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and brush with the marinade. Bake, brushing with marinade every 10 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the livers are just cooked but still slightly pink, 35 to 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes, brush with the marinade and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.

RUMAKI TERIYAKI

Steps:

• Stir together the teriyaki sauce and garlic in a medium bowl, then add the livers and water chestnuts. Toss to coat. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Soak 24 toothpicks in cold water for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the boiler. Remove the livers and water chestnuts from the marinade and discard the marinade. Lay 1 bacon half on a cutting board and place 1 piece of liver and 1 water chestnut in the center. Fold one side of the bacon over them, and thread a toothpick through the bacon, then the chestnut and liver. Wrap the remaining bacon edge around this parcel and secure on the toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 24 rumaki.
• Broil the rumaki on a rack set over a baking sheet (covered with aluminum foil for easy clean up) 2 inches from the heat for 4 minutes. Flip them over and broil for 2 minutes more. Brush the rumaki with additional teriyaki sauce and return to the broiler for 2 more minutes. Place on a serving tray and serve immediately.

PINEAPPLE RUMAKI

Steps:

• Combine the french dressing and pineapple chunks in a bag to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Cut each of the bacon slices into three pieces (1 bacon slice=3 small stripes of bacon).
• Preheat your oven to broil and set for 350 degrees.
• After the 15 minutes are up, take the pineapple chunks and wrap them with the bacon and put a wooden toothpick through the bacon and the pineapple to secure the rumaki together.
• Take a baking sheet and put the rumaki onto the baking sheet.
• Broil one side of the rumaki until it looks done, which should be around 6-8 minutes depending on how hot your oven is (if you want the rumaki to be crisper, leave it under the broil for a little longer).
• After the one side of the rumaki is cooked, take the baking sheet out. Grab the toothpick and flip the rumaki to the other side, which is not cooked. (Be careful as the baking sheet will be hot.).
• Put the baking sheet in the oven again. Broil for another 6-8 minutes.
• Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
• Now get ready to serve the rumaki.

• A year or so ago I served these to a bunch of folks at a large gathering. I had underestimated the number of folks who would show up for supper. Even so, I figured one or two per person would be enough. I was wrong. They were all devoured, leaving none for Linda and I! And, I got requests to do it again next time.
