2. Pork Wrapped Tomatoes
In season 3, episode 2 (Midnight Diner), Master made Tonbara Tomatomaki (Pork Wrapped Tomatoes). I never thought this one would be so tasty. One bite is all you need. The baked tomato is soft and juicy; it blends well with the crispy texture of the bacon.
A Pork Wrapped Tomatoes Recipe
This recipe uses two ingredients: bacon and small tomatoes. However, I used turkey bacon for this recipe.
All you do is roll the tomatoes in the bacon. Secure through with a toothpick.
Then place them on prepared sheets and bake in a hot oven for 15 minutes. This recipe is similar to the Rumaki recipe. You can also roast your bacon wrapped tomatoes like in the show. I can see this recipe taking on so many variations because of its simplicity.

My family and I have been referring to your recipe site for years and will do so again this Christmas! Your writing is so easy to follow that when I read the recipe I think I might even be able to make it, and the dish always turn out good! We are also fans of the Japanese shows on Netflix. Cheers from Toronto.

Thank you Kam. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much for this. I’m also a fan of the show and the food. I’ll definitely be trying some of these recipes. I loved the butter rice episode. It immediately took me back to memories of eating butter rice at my grandmother’s house in Barataria.
