What is Rumaki?
Rumaki is an appetizer or appetizer, which is traditionally made of marinated chicken liver and water chestnuts that are packed in bacon, grilled and served on a toothpick. It is generally assumed that the appetizer of the bite in the 40th of the 20th century was invented as a Polynesian dish in the United States. During the 1950s and 1960s, Rumaki was commonly served in many Tiki restaurants, cocktail and holiday parties and in some Chinese-American restaurants. Over the years, a number of adaptations of recipes have been made, resulting in many different depictions of the bowl. Classic Rumaki is generally produced by the first marinating chicken liver and water chestnuts in a diligent, sweet sauce. The ingredients of this marinade vary depending on the recipe, but often include soy or teriyaki sauce, brown sugar and spices such as ginger and garlic. Once marinated, chicken liver and water chestnuts are then wrapped in a piece of bacon, pierced by a toothpick to keep the objects together and blunt in the trumuntil the bacon is crispy. After flashing, Rumaki is usually served immediately while it is still on the toothpick.
Most sources agree that Rumaki was invented in the 40th century, although exactly who created the initial recipes is somewhat questioned. Some believe it was created by Vic Bergeron, the owner of the Tiki restaurant chain known as trader Vic. Others say that it was invented by Donn Beach, the owner of a similar chain of restaurants, because the oldest written record of Rumaki comes from the 40th year of one of his restaurants Don The Beachcomber.
Restadless, Rumaki quickly became one of the popular appetizers of the 1950s and sixties. It was served not only in Tiki Culture restaurants, where it started, but also chefs and home chefs at cocktail parties and festive gatherings. Around this time Rumaki even began to appear on some Chinese-American restaurant as beforefeed or as part of the PU plate.
Although it was not as popular as it used to be, Rumaki can still be found in its traditional form even in various adapted renditions. For example, some recipes now require the use of shrimp or data instead of chicken liver or pineapple instead of a water chestnut. There are vegetarian recipes that, instead of pork bacon, call mushrooms used instead of chicken liver and soya -based bacon. While accurate recipes often differ, common themes of tasty marinades, crispy packaging and ingredients held neatly together on the toothpicks.
