Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F and prepare a foil-lined baking sheet with a rack.

  2. Cut bacon in half, arrange strips on the rack, and bake for 12 minutes until partially cooked and flexible.

  3. Transfer bacon to a cooling rack, pat dry, and set aside the baking sheet with the rack.

  4. While bacon bakes, cut chicken livers into 3/4-inch pieces.

  5. Combine chicken livers, water chestnuts, soy sauce, ginger, curry powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper; marinate for 15-20 minutes.

  6. Once bacon is cool, place a piece of chicken liver and a water chestnut slice on each bacon strip, then roll tightly and secure with a toothpick.

  7. Place assembled rumaki on the baking rack.

  8. Strain marinade into a saucepan, boil, then remove from heat.

  9. Bake rumaki for 20 minutes, turning halfway and basting with boiled marinade, until bacon is crisp.

  10. Discard excess marinade and serve warm.
