Ingredients
14 ounces enoki mushrooms (400g)
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 scallion, finely chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Enoki Mushrooms
Carefully trim away about 1 inch from the root section of the enoki mushrooms.
Using your fingers, separate the mushrooms into small bite-sized bundles.
Rinse gently under cold water and drain well.
Step 2: Blanch the Mushrooms
Bring a wok or pot of water to a boil.
Blanch the enoki mushrooms in two batches for about 1 minute each.
Drain thoroughly and arrange the mushrooms on a serving plate.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Scallion Sauce
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 10 seconds without browning.
Stir in the soy sauce, sugar, and chopped scallions.
Bring the sauce to a quick boil, then immediately turn off the heat.
Step 4: Serve
Slowly pour the hot garlic scallion sauce over the enoki mushrooms and serve immediately.
Notes
Handle enoki mushrooms gently since they are delicate.
Avoid overcooking the garlic and scallions to preserve their fresh flavor.
This dish tastes great served warm alongside rice, noodles, or grilled proteins.
Add chili oil or red pepper flakes for a spicy variation.
