Wash the mushrooms well with water. Cut the bottom part of the enoki mushrooms with a sharp knife and discard the root. Separate the clusters of the mushrooms into 1x1 inch pieces for wrapping.

Start the wrapping process by combining the mushrooms, garlic, and chilis on top of a half-sliced piece of bacon. Roll the wrapped mushrooms tightly, then thread them through the skewers. Using 4-5 pieces of the mushrooms per skewer is best for keeping the grilling temperature evenly.

Finish wrapping the mushrooms with the rest of the ingredients. Place them on a large rimmed baking sheet. You'll have yourself a beautifully wrapped bacon bouquet!

Turn the grill to medium heat. Before grilling, brush a small amount of oil on the mushrooms to prevent them from burning on the grill. Do this on both sides of the mushrooms.

Grill the mushrooms between 5-10 minutes per side on medium heat, depending on how well you like your mushroom. Grill a bit Longer if you like your food on the well-done side. That's it, enjoy! Placed the finished Enoki mushrooms on a serving platter and served with the sauce.
