Directions
-
Preheat oven to 500&# 194;°F (260ðC).
-
Prepare the filling by mixing sliced mushrooms, sliced red or green bell peppers, sliced celery, bean sprouts, and chopped scallions in a bowl.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add the vegetable mixture to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender.
-
Pour in the lightly beaten eggs and soy sauce, tossing continuously for 1 minute until the eggs begin to coagulate but remain soft. Remove from heat.
-
Take 4 boned trout fillets (with skin, head, and tail intact if desired) and stuff each with one-fourth of the vegetable and egg mixture.
-
Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each stuffed trout, tucking the ends securely underneath.
-
Place the wrapped trout in a large baking dish, ensuring they do not touch each other.
-
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bacon is crisp, the skin is golden, and the fish is opaque to the bone.
-
Let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
